Sri Lankan authorities appeared more willing than in past years to acknowledge official responsibility for atrocities. On January 31, Sri Lankan army personnel in Batticaloa publicly acknowledged their role in large-scale massacres of civilians in the east, mentioning notorious attacks in Kokkaddicholai, Sathurukkondaan, Vanthaarumoolai, and Batticaloa. In February, the attorney general reportedly issued indictments against more than six hundred police and armed forces personnel implicated in "disappearances" that occurred before 1994--many in connection with counterinsurgency operations against the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) organization. On June 28, two soldiers were sentenced to six years in prison and fined Rs. 2,500 (U.S. $27) each for their role in an abduction and murder in 1989. [1]
[edit] Kokkadichcholai incidednt
Is disputed hence as long as it is here, the whole section can be disputed..Also , some of the incident ,we dont even know who killed those people..Since this articles is directly condemning the GOSL and readers might get the idea that see also incidents are also carried out by the GOSL.. Since that it false, I dont think this see also is relevant to this article..We don't want to deceive readers,do we ??--Iwazaki 11:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
