Human rights in Sri Lanka

Major human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, as well as the United States Department of State〔(Sri Lanka )〕 and the European Union,〔(The EU's relations with Sri Lanka - Overview )〕 have expressed concern about the state of human rights in Sri Lanka. British colonial rulers, the government of Sri Lanka and the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) are accused of violating human rights. Amnesty International stated in 2003 that there was a considerable improvement in the human rights situation attributed to the peaceful context of a ceasefire and peace talks between the government and the LTTE. In their 2006 report, however, Amnesty International stated that "escalating political killings, child recruitment, abductions and armed clashes created a climate of fear in the east, spreading to the north by the end of the year," while also outlining concerns with violence against women, the death penalty, and "numerous reports of torture in police custody." Although Sri Lanka has not officially practiced the death penalty since 1976,〔(Ste's Site - Death penalty in Sri Lanka )〕 well-documented cases of state-sponsored 'disappearances' and murders〔(Recurring Nightmare: State Responsibility for "Disappearances" and Abductions in Sri Lanka )〕 by non-partisan humanitarian organizations, notably Human Rights Watch, contradict official statements.
In 2012, the UK charity Freedom from Torture reported that it had received 233 referrals of torture survivors from Sri Lanka for clinical treatment or other services provided by the charity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sri Lanka - Out of the Silence )
==Background==
Sri Lanka was embroiled in a civil war for more than two decades. More than 64,000 people have been killed and more than one million have been displaced since 1983. In July 1983, the most savage anti-minority pogrom in Sri Lanka's history, known as the Black July riots, erupted. Government appointed commission's estimates put the death toll at nearly 1,000.,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=President Kumaratunga's speech on the 21st Anniversary of 'Black July' )〕 mostly minority Sri Lankan Tamils.〔(Amnesty International Canada || News Release )〕 died or 'disappeared'. At least 150,000 Tamils fled the island. Another major event was the repression of a revolution in the South of Sri Lanka by government forces.Up to 60,000 Sinhalese people including many students died as a result of this insurgency led by the factions of the Marxist JVP.
