Sri Lanka Chemmani graves reopen civil war wounds
A mass grave containing the remains of 572 people, including children and infants, was discovered during excavation in northern Sri Lanka, believed to be linked to wartime atrocities and disappearances during the civil war. The site, near previously known graves, has revived calls for investigation and justice from families of the missing, amid slow progress in forensic analysis and concerns about accountability. Despite repeated efforts, past investigations have failed to produce prosecutions, and the government opposes international probes, though human rights groups urge external assistance to establish the causes of death and responsibility.
