1990 Batticaloa massacre
The 1990 Batticaloa massacre, also known as the Sathurukondan massacre ((タミル語:சத்துருக்கொண்டான் படுகொலை)), was a massacre of at least 184 minority Sri Lankan Tamil refugees, including infants, from three villages in the Batticaloa District by the Sri Lankan Army on September 9, 1990.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The massacre at Sathurukondan: 9th September 1990 – Report 8 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】Chapter 45: War continues with brutality )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Batticaloa massacre victims remembered )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】Towards reconciliation )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World Report 2000: Sri Lanka )〕 Although the government instituted two investigations, no one was ever charged.
==Background information==
During the British colonial period, approximately 60% of the civil service jobs were held by the minority Sri Lankan Tamils. They constituted approximately 15% of the population prior to 1948. This was due to the availability of Western-style education as provided by the Protestant American missionaries, Hindu revivalists, and local Catholic missions in the Tamil-dominated Jaffna peninsula. After gaining independence from Britain in 1948, Sinhalese politicians made the apparent over-representation a political issue. They initiated measures aimed at correcting the over-representation by establishing ethnic quotas for university entrants. These measures, and a series of riots and pogroms starting from 1958 that targeted Sri Lankan Tamils and the resultant mass murder, displacements and refugees, led to the formation of rebel groups advocating independence for Sri Lankan Tamils. After the 1983 Black July pogrom, full scale civil war erupted between the government and the rebel groups. During the course of the civil war there were a number of massacres of civilians, war rapes, torture and enforced disappearances attributed to both the government and allied groups as well as the various rebel formations.
