Evidence removed from suspected torture cell in former military zone say locals



Barbed wire, old military uniforms, army boots and wall prints were removed overnight by army personnel from a suspected military run torture cells in Valikamam North, said locals.

Locals said the evidence of torture was erased or destroyed by the army following reports that emerged at the weekend that two houses located in land which was occupied by the military for over 25 years, had signs of previous use as torture cells.
