S. H. Hasbullah

Shahul Hameed Hasbullah (Tamil: சாஹுல் ஹமீத் ஹஸ்புல்லாஹ், romanized: Cāhul Hamīt Haspullāh; 3 September 1950 – 25 August 2018) was a Sri Lankan social activist, geographer and academic.

[9][10] Being an internally displaced person himself, Hasbullah extensively worked on documenting the plight of the ethnic cleansing and expulsion of Muslims from the Northern province by LTTE.

[2][11] Hasbullah's academic contributions during the last three decades are a significant scientific and historical record of this event.

His two notable earliest works are the Report on the Loss of Movable and Immovable Assets of Muslims Evicted from the Northern Province in October 1990 and Family Information of the Muslim Refugees, Ousted from Northern Province in October 1990.

[11][2] Hasbullah had submitted parts of this report to the parliament to provide remedies and resettlement prospects for the internally displaced refugees.
