| Sri Lanka: Mounting Civilian Casualties as Conflict Persists |
|
Amnesty International condemns the suicide bomb attack of 6 April 2008 in Gampaha district,
Weliveriya, near Colombo. The bomb blast killed at least 12 people, including Jeyaraj
Fernandopulle, a senior government minister, and injured over 90 people including children. The
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has been blamed for the bomb attack that targeted a local
sports event. Amnesty International reiterates that attacks targeting civilians and indiscriminate
attacks violate international humanitarian law which binds all sides to the conflict and constitute
war crimes. All such attacks must cease immediately and unconditionally, and perpetrators must
be brought to justice.
