e/Sri Lankan IDP camps

Information
has gloss	eng: The final stages of the Sri Lankan Civil War created 300,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) who were transferred to camps in Vavuniya District and detained there against their will. This, together with the conditions inside the camps and the slow progress of resettlement has attracted much concern and criticism from inside and outside Sri Lanka. On 7 May 2009 the Sri Lankan government announced plans to resettle 80% of the IDPs by the end of 2009. On 1 December 2009 the camps were opened up, giving the IDPs limited freedom. By 25 February 2010, more than 280 days after the end of the civil war, 65% (184,000) of the IDPs had been released or returned to their places of origin, with 99,000 still being held in the camps.
