"Sri Lanka’s NPP government has spoken of its commitment to reconciliation, but there can be no meaningful reconciliation without truth and justice."
Ingrid Massagé, an observer of the 1999 #Chemmani exhumations, reflects on newly uncovered mass graves:
"For Sri Lanka’s Tamils, who have long demanded accountability for war crimes, atrocities and human-rights violations, the mass graves at #Chemmani has renewed apprehensions over the real prospects for justice."
Ingrid Massagé writes on #lka:
"Found in Sri Lanka’s former war zone, the mass graves at Chemmani have brought the country’s troubled history back into focus 16 years after the civil war ended."
Ingrid Massagé on the mass graves at #Chemmani and Sri Lanka’s old failures of justice:

"The #Chemmani exhumations present yet another opportunity for Sri Lanka to confront and break through the entrenched cycle of impunity that has prevailed in the country for decades."

Sri Lanka civil war was brutal, there were a number of atrocities, too many to count, where the innocent suffered. High on the known list is #Chemmani, a mass grave where so far 80 skeletal remains have been recovered, including those of minors www.facebook.com/kumana93/pos...
Young #SriLanka journos are using #AI to fill in the historic gaps while reporting on the on-going excavation work at #Chemmani mass graves. So far 72 skeletal remains have been recovered - www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
On July 17, civil society, trade union groups protested in Colombo demanding international justice for victims of the #Chemmani mass grave (63 bodies incl. children). Police used excessive force to block a peaceful march to the Presidential Secretariat. #SriLanka www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
A poster of a private educational institution has been pasted over a protest poster against the #Chemmani massacre in Negombo.
Is it coincidence?

In shadows deep where sorrow lies,
Mass graves whisper silent cries,
A lack of #space, a heart grown cold,
Grief buried, stories left untold.

Chemmani Mass Grave – Human remains of 24 individuals have been uncovered from the excavations conducted so far.
The discovery of these 24 human remains once again brings to light the grim reality of grave human rights violations and atrocities. What do we…?
