Allegations Of State Terrorism By Sri Lanka
Various non-governmental organizations and individuals have accused the Sri Lankan government of committing state terrorism. These claims allege that much of the Sri Lankan government's handling of insurgent groups dating from 1956, including the civil war against Tamil militant groups and the state response to the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna insurrections, have involved acts of state terrorism. Such acts include massacres of civilians, the concealment of mass graves, the use of torture, unlawful imprisonment and forced disappearances. The government has denied all these allegations.
