Sri Lanka Under Investigation for Human Rights Abuses

From Voice of America News:

"In Sri Lanka, an international panel invited to monitor the investigation of human rights abuses has quit. Another human rights group has also attacked the government for its rights record, calling it one of the world's worst perpetrators of enforced disappearances. Anjana Pasricha reports on the growing criticism of the government's rights record since a new round of fighting erupted in the island, two years ago...

Anna Neistat who researched the Human Rights Watch report:

"In many cases, we have proof that, before people disappeared, before they went missing they were last seen in custody of army or navy officers, or they were arrested by the police…. and since then all traces of them have been lost," she said...

"The report says many of the victims are ethnic Tamils and were targeted because of their alleged links to the rebels. It says others who have disappeared include journalists and aid workers. It says many of the victims are feared dead.

"It has called for a United Nations mission to monitor the rights abuses."
