Extractions: Sri Lankan President Chandrika Kumaratunga's attempts to stifle public opposition to the war against the Tamils in the north and to social and economic policies in the south have met large-scale resistance from left opposition parties, most notably a demonstration of 3000 people in Colombo on May 25. Despite police brutality, the demonstration, organised by the Nava Sama Samaja Party (NSSP), the People's Liberation Front (JVP) and the Muslim United Liberation Front, rallied outside the Colombo town hall. Protesters shouted slogans and carried placards and banners against the government's attempts to use the war as a pretext for burying democratic rights. They called for a solution to the national question based on equality and democracy. Prominent among the slogans raised were, No to oppressive regulations!, No to censorship!, No to racism!, No to war! and No to foreign forces!. Thirty minutes into the demonstration, police used water cannons, tear gas and a baton charge to disperse the crowd. Traffic was blocked around the town hall for nearly one hour as a result. Dr Vickramabahu Karunarathne, the general secretary of the NSSP, called the demonstration a defeat for the government.

Extractions: Recent Reports Support HRW World Report 1999 Order Online SRI LANKA The sixteen-year conflict between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) continued to produce human rights violations on both sides. On July 29, the international human rights movement lost one of its most respected and beloved leaders when a suspected LTTE suicide bomber assassinated Neelan Tiruchelvam, founder of both the International Centre for Ethnic Studies and the Law and Society Trust, a human rights research and advocacy organization. Tiruchelvam, a Tamil member of parliament, had angered the LTTE by proposing an alternative to a separate Tamil state, namely a plan for devolution of power to regional councils set up in part along ethnic lines. Human Rights Developments The war was increasingly complicated by paramilitary actors, often working alongside the army as auxiliary forces, but sometimes at odds with them and with each other. Armed clashes between rival groups claimed civilian lives. Impunity remained a critical problem, with few prosecutions for human rights violations, and torture prevalent both in the context of armed conflict and in day-to-day policing. Discrimination against Tamil civilians by members of the security forces attempting to root out the LTTE continued throughout the country and especially in the capital city of Colombo and in army-controlled areas of the north and east. The war in the north continued to claim civilian lives and generated thousands of new internally displaced people and a smaller number of external refugees as people fled military shelling, clashes between the army and the LTTE, food shortages, and LTTE recruitment of children and adults for military service. On September 15 more than twenty civilians were reported killed and some forty injured in an air force bombing of the Puthukkudiyiruppu market in the northern district of Mullaithivu; houses and buildings nearby were also destroyed. Three days later a suspected LTTE attack on Sinhalese villagers in the east killed more than fifty.
