[...] Sri Lanka’s security forces have spent much of the past several decades combating civil strife and engaging in armed conflict against ethnic-oriented armed groups, notably the Sinhalese left-wing insurgency of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP),[2] and the Tamil separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).[3] [...] Sri Lankan government security forces—the military, police, and intelligence services—have a long history of committing serious abuses with impunity. Soldiers and police have rarely been held to account for arbitrary arrests, torture, enforced disappearances, and custodial killings.
