Abstract:

‘Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields’, recently shown on Australian television, is a UK (Channel 4) documentary about the final days of the Sri Lankan government’s offensive against the Tamil Tigers in May 2009. It contains shocking evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the deliberate shelling of known non-combatant areas, such as hospitals in the so-called No Fire Zones; the summary execution of prisoners by Sri Lankan Army troops; and sexual violence against Tamil women, many of them militants.
