Human Rights in Sri Lanka
Human rights in Sri Lanka have been a significant concern, particularly following the end of the civil war in 2009. Issues such as freedom of expression, political repression, and the treatment of minority groups, including Tamils, have drawn international attention. Reports of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings have raised alarms among human rights organizations.
The Sri Lankan government has made commitments to improve human rights conditions, yet challenges remain. Efforts to address past abuses and promote accountability have been slow, leading to ongoing tensions within the country. The situation continues to evolve, with both local and international stakeholders advocating for reforms.
