LKA 11/2014 20/08/2014 Sri Lanka AL Adequate housing; 21/08/2014 Alleged forced eviction of a large number of persons and communities residing in various neighbourhoods in the city of Colombo. According to the information received, residents were forcibly evicted following an application submitted for an Urban Regeneration Project by the Urban Development Authority under the purview of the Ministry of Defence. Forced evictions have reportedly been carried out since May 2010, including on Java Lane, Mews Street on Slave Island and Castle Street in Borella, and have included demolition of homes and businesses without due process or consultation, and with unclear application of domestic law. Many families that have already been evicted have not been adequately compensated and alternative housing has not been provided despite original promises to this effect. A/HRC/28/85 65
