THIS IS THE BASIC REPORT KNOWN TILL NOW, WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT ALL THE SINHALESE GOVERNMENT HAS HIDDEN, AND HOW MANY MORE WAR CRIMES WERE COMITTED AND ARE STILL BEING COMITTED AGAINST THE TAMILS IN SRI LANKA

If there is justice, young children should not be killed

Two children were hanged by the Sri Lankan army after their parents were killed

These civilians including a 6-month-old infant, a 4-year-old boy, their mother, a 8-year-old girl and an English teacher are just a few of innocent victims killed by the Sri Lankan Air Force (SLAF).

There are many petitions to end the genocide on Tamils, but the international community lacks action against human rights violation.

They should solve this now or there will be more bloodshed and mass killings of innocent infants.
