In an email to Kerry, the Centre for Justice and Accountability had asked that the government be pressurized into revealing the identities of the detainees and their whereabouts.

It also mentioned about a secret detention camp in Trincomalee as exposed by the media.

The CJA also requested the appointment of a war crimes prosecutor, facilitation of the setting up of special places of appeal to investigate war crimes charges, entertaining views of victims of the crimes and escapees, community leaders, lawyers and civil society with regard to the formulation of an interim judicial framework, recommending the restructuring of the security and intelligence agencies and the PTA and preventing the TID and the CID from harassing and arresting participants at workshops and community meetings.

However, Kerry has not made a clear statement with regard to the manner of his involvement, jdslanka.org reports.
