Amnesty International is concerned for the safety of three government employed doctors who had been working in the conflict zone in North eastern Sri Lanka until 15 May 2009. Dr T. Sathiyamoorthy, Dr T. Varatharajah and Dr. Shanmugarajah were treating the sick and wounded until they reportedly travelled out of the ‘No Fire Zone’ with approximately 5,000 other civilians.
