Description
During the massacre in 2009 tens of thousands innocent of Eelam-Tamils were killed by the Sri Lankan Army in dastardly ways. The innocent citizens died due to airstrikes, shootings, mistreatment and cluster bombs. Thousands of women, men, children and seniors could not be identified. Vinoja I also became a victim of this victimisation and dehumanisation of Tamils.
Legal situation (investigation/criminal proceedings)
To date, no one has been accounted for the deliberate killings and wounding which were directed at unarmed, non-combative civilians.
