“The CID visited and searched our home and<br />

burned a motor bike in the garage. They asked<br />

about me. They hit my dad with steel rod. They<br />

came a couple times and threatened them each<br />

time. The most recent time was about one year<br />

ago. My family now lives elsewhere. I do not call<br />

them because I am afraid that my call will be<br />

traced and harm will come to my family.”<br />

“After I left Sri Lanka my<br />

mother and uncle were<br />

harassed and threatened.<br />

My mother was taken into<br />

custody after I went abroad<br />

and I lost contact with my<br />

mother. I could not find<br />

her. My uncle did not know<br />

where she was. I do not<br />

communicate with my uncle<br />

because of fear that I may<br />

cause problems for them<br />

with the security forces.”<br />

Witness 74 (speaking in 2015)<br />
