"If We Raise Our Voice They Arrest Us": Sri Lanka's Proposed Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The 39-page report, “‘If We Raise Our Voice They Arrest Us’: Sri Lanka’s Proposed Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” documents abusive security force surveillance and intimidation of activists and campaigners from minority Tamil families of those who “disappeared” during Sri Lanka’s civil war. The authorities are using draconian counterterrorism laws to silence dissenting voices, including those calling for truth and accountability, while government-backed land grabs target Tamil and Muslim communities and their places of worship.

Double Standards and Hypocrisy in the Quest for Justice


Article
Last Sunday, February 28, during the holy mass our parish priest  at St. Joseph’s Church, Ratmalana announced that all Catholics in Colombo Archdiocese are requested to wear black when going to church the following Sunday, March 7, to demand justice for Easter Sunday attacks on April 21, 2019. He emphasized that this is not a political action but a call for justice. Since then, I have heard from other Catholics and through media that next Sunday is to be a “Black Sunday”
It is nearly two years since Easter Sunday bombings that killed about 115 in Katuwapitiya Catholic Church, about 50 in Kochikade Catholic Church, about 30 in Batticaloa Zion Church and about 66 more at other locations including three tourist hotels. Those responsible have often been identified by their ethnicity (Muslim) and religion (Islam). However, the masterminds as well as high level politicians and government officials who could have prevented the attacks are yet to be determined, although suspicions have been cast on several, including the then president, prime minister and chief of police.
