A mass grave holding 150 bodies was found in Sri Lanka this
past November. Investigation
continues as to the age and reason for this grave. Archaeologists believe the grave is from the late 1980s when
leftist insurgents, JVP, launched a failed revolution. The grave was first uncovered
during construction work on the Matale district hospital. The positioning of the bodies and the
location lead investigators to feel this is the site of a crime and not a
regular place of burial. Matale
was the center of an insurgency by the Sinhalese group called JVP in the late
1980s. Thousands of people were
rounded up and disappeared. Leaders today want a thorough
investigation and perpetrators to be brought to justice.
This is a very sad sorry of events that happened in recent
history. I can’t imagine living
somewhere with so much violence.
