Murder, abductions rise in 'liberated' Sri Lanka: rights group
8 hours ago
COLOMBO (AFP) — A leading human rights group on Tuesday accused a pro-government militia in eastern Sri Lanka of being behind a worsening wave of killings and child abductions.
Human Rights Watch accused the TMVP, made up of former members of the Tamil Tigers who switched sides in the bitter ethnic war, of at least 30 murders and 30 kidnappings in the east of the island in September and October.
The rights watchdog said the TMVP, which emerged as dominant political force in the east after Tamil Tiger rebels were ejected from the region 18 months ago, was able to function with "total impunity".
"The Sri Lankan government says that the liberated' east is an example of democracy in action and a model for areas recaptured from the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam)," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
"But killings and abductions are rife and there is total impunity for horrific abuses," Adams said.
