UN HRC report on Sri Lanka
Torture. Many military centers had rooms equipped with torture equipment, "including metal bars and poles for beatings, barrels of water used for waterboarding, and pulleys from which victims were suspended," the release said. The existence of the rooms indicated a "premeditated and systematic" use of torture, the U.N. said.
Sexual and gender-based violence. The Sri Lankan military committed sexual violence against men as well as women detainees, the release said, adding that. "Harrowing testimony from 30 survivors of sexual violence who were interviewed indicates that incidents of sexual violence were not isolated acts but part of a deliberate policy to inflict torture."
Disappearances. Tens of thousands of Sri Lankans disappeared over the decades, including people who surrendered during the final years of the civil war, the release said.

Tamil Nadu assembly passed a resolution today asking Indian gov to support an international war crimes investigation under UNHRC. The resolution was moved by chief minister J Jayalalithaa with all parties seconding it.
Will Indian gov ignore the collective request of all citizens of Tamil Nadu?
