Over 250,000 civilians have been displaced by the Sri Lankan civil war and are
now held by the government in de facto internment camps where they live in dire
conditions without adequate security, food, water, and medical care.

Amnesty International continues to receive consistent reports of widespread and
serious human rights violations, including enforced disappearance,
extra-judicial executions, torture and other ill-treatment, forced recruitment
by paramilitary groups, and sexual violence.
