Evidence that a torture cell existed in the Varani army camp was released by former Tamil National Alliance parliamentarian Suresh Premachandran on Monday.
Mr Premachandran said that he had been shown a house that was used as a torture cell in an area formerly occupied by Sri Lanka's army in Jaffna.
The 526 division had occupied the house until May 2014 said the former TNA MP. Mr Premachandran added that blood prints on the wall suggested that people taken to the army camp for inquiry were tortured in the room.
