CPA further filed a case on 29th June with respect to the declaration of an area in Trincomalee as a High Security Zone. CPA’s position was that many of the civilians owning land in the High Security Zone are Tamil citizens, and that they are wary of the establishment of the High Security Zone particularly in view of recent directives by high ranking Government officials of the Defence establishment to eliminate the presence of Tamils from the North and East from certain parts of Colombo.
