A new report from Human Rights Watch has found the Sri Lankan government is responsible for unlawful killings, enforced disappearances and other serious human rights violations since the resumption of major hostilities with the Tamil Tigers last year. According to the report, security forces have subjected civilians to indiscriminate attacks and impeded the delivery of humanitarian aid. Some 315,000 people have had to flee their homes due to fighting since August 2006, the vast majority Tamils and Muslims. Human Rights Watch also documented a disturbing rise in abductions and “disappearances” over the past 18 months.
