Tamil women in the north and the east affected by the war have decided to boycott the upcoming presidential polls.
Tamils will not be given justice by any of the candidates, said Mariyasuresh Eswari, chief of the association of relatives of missing persons in Mullaitivu.
Tamils will recognize the new president only if he takes those who committed crimes against them to international courts, said Eswari at a media briefing yesterday (27).
In Mannar, Manuel Udayachandra said a Sinhalese president would be of no use to them, and that they are demanding justice from the international community.
Relatives of missing persons are planning to stage protests in Jaffna and Trincomalee on 30 August to demand justice for their lost loved ones.
