ITJP to document evidence of sexual violence and torture under new Sri Lanka government

ITJP to document evidence of sexual violence and torture under new Sri Lanka government

Tamil Guardian 26 July 2015
At least 8 accounts of torture and sexual violence under Sri Lanka's new government are expected to be documented in a report released by the International Truth and Justice Project Sri Lanka (ITJP) this week.

The ITJP will release a report that expands on a previous study entitled "An Unfinished War:Torture and Sexual Violence in Sri Lanka, 2009-2014," reports Ceylon Today.

The updated study will exhibit 180 cases of post-war torture and sexual violence in Sri Lanka, including eight accounts that occurred after the presidential elections of Jan 8 2015 and fourteen cases which took place in 2014.

The head of the ITJP Yasmin Sooka, who also co-authored the UN panel of Experts Report into Sri Lanka's mass atrocities, previously said that sexual violence and torture against Tamils was a "systematic part of policy framework."
