Sri Lankan army denies torture camp in Vali North

The Sri Lankan army on Sunday rejected reports of a military run torture camp in Valikamam North.

"The army did not run torture camps or secret detention camps," the Sri Lankan military's media spokesperson said.

"We had no need to run torture camps," he added.

Locals in Valikamam North suspect two houses returned to them last week after 25 years of military occupation were used as torture cells.
