Sri Lanka News Updates with Discussions

This is a typical scene of what happens to Tamils in Sri Lanka but very rarely pictured. This was taken without the knowledge of the police officers. Not a single pilgrim who got beaten dared to complain of this brutality for fear of well founded torture at the hands of the same police. In the 50-year history Sri Lankan terrorist brutality by the police there were only one case ever reached the court. That was the massacre of 28 Tamil youth suspects held at Bindunuweewa detention centre. The police and the army comprised of the majority ethnic community set the villagers to hack and cut the Tamil suspects. When the case went the court all the accused were freed by the judges all of whom were from the same community. There was no retrial nor any justice done to the relatives of those victims.
