Freedom Hunters for Tamils calls for a full, independent, transparent, and internationally credible investigation into the Easter Sunday attacks and all serious human rights violations that have been alleged in Sri Lanka over the past decades.
The recent reports concerning the detention and questioning of retired Major General Suresh Salley have renewed public debate about accountability, justice, and the rights of victims. Survivors, victims' families, and civil society groups continue to seek answers regarding allegations of torture, enforced disappearances, political violence, attacks on journalists, and other unresolved abuses.
We urge the Sri Lankan authorities to ensure that all allegations of serious human rights violations are investigated thoroughly, independently, and without political interference. No individual, regardless of military rank, political position, or influence, should be above the law.
We also call for former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to be subject to the same standards of accountability as any other individual. Long-standing allegations relating to extrajudicial killings, torture, enforced disappearances, abuses during the civil war, and other human rights violations affecting Tamils, Muslims, and Sinhalese communities must be examined through credible legal processes and independent investigations.
Freedom Hunters for Tamils further urges the United Kingdom, the United States, the United Nations, and the wider international community to support impartial investigations and accountability mechanisms to ensure justice for all victims.
Justice must be based on truth, evidence, due process, and accountability. Victims deserve answers. Families deserve closure. Sri Lanka deserves justice.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
