The District Court of Vavuniya, Magistrates Court of Vavuniya and Vavuniya High Court did not function Tuesday following a boycott campaign carried out lawyers condemning the killings of innocent civilians, children and workers of non-governmental organizations without any reason in the North-East, said the Vavuniya District Bar Association in a statement released Tuesday.

All cases listed for hearing in these three courts were put off for another date, legal sources said.
