Nesohr (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The NorthEast Secretariat on Human Rights (NESOHR) was established as part of the Norway facilitated peace process to improve human rights in North East of Sri Lanka on July 9, 2004, in Kilinochchi. Due to the one sided reporting of alleged government atrocities only, the credibility of NESOHR in human rights circles was quite low and it was not perceived as trustworthy or reliable organisation. Joseph Pararajasingham, a member of the Sri Lankan Parliament, and Ariyanayagam Chandra Nehru, a former member of Sri Lankan Parliament, were founding members of NESOHR. Both were later assassinated, allegedly by para-military members. Father M. X. Karunaratnam was Chairperson of the organization until his assassination on April 20, 2008. In a press release, NESOHR condemned, "in the strongest possible terms," "the Sri Lankan State" for his death. NESOHR has been cited by the BBC and Amnesty International, as well as Sri Lankan newspapers.
