India’s massacre of Tamils at Jaffna Hospital commemorated
A commemorative ceremony was held at Jaffna Teaching Hospital this morning to mark 35 years since the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) massacred dozens of staff and patients at the hospital.
At least 68 civilians, including 21 medical personnel, were killed by Indian troops as they stormed the hospital building on the 21 and 22 October 1987, throwing grenades and firing indiscriminately at staff and patients. The building had been shelled by artillery before the raid.
