In light of its latest evidence, published today, Freedom from Torture is calling on Sri Lanka to allow free and unfettered access to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights as a matter of urgency and for the new Commissioner Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid al-Hussein to include ongoing torture in his investigations.
Freedom from Torture is one of the world's largest torture rehabilitation centres, providing psychological treatment and other services to over 1000 torture survivors each year.
As the new High Commissioner prepares to update the Human Rights Council on the Sri Lanka inquiry, the medical charity revealed that in the last eight months its doctors have documented 40 new cases of post-war torture perpetrated between 2009 and 2013. Of these new cases:

  • 13 date from 2013
  • 10 date from 2012
  • 7 date from 2011, 2 from 2010 and 8 from 2009

Added to the organisation's previously released data, this means that Freedom from Torture has now forensically documented* 160 cases of individuals tortured since Sri Lanka's civil war ended in 2009.

as far as you are concerned India (Hindia) is a foreign country. So, why aren't you criticizing Pakistan and China which signed development deals with SL?
