The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights released seven “fact sheets” for the report of the OHCHR’s Investigation on Sri Lanka. The documents briefly summarize key parts of the many chapters of the report and highlight important findings.
The fact sheets break up the report into the following topics: overview of the report; allegations of torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, sexual and gender-based violence; violations related to deprivation of liberty and enforced disappearances; unlawful killings; abduction and force recruitment; control of movement; and the last phase and aftermath of the armed conflict.
Links to all of the fact sheets can be found here.
We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
