    White van dumping ground?

    Oh, don't tell Nava Pillai or Ban-Ki-Moon.

    Left and right, north and south, this country is bleeding with blood!

    God, please forgive those responsible.

    so it looks like a mass grave! who is the culprit and why don't we hear anything from our patriots, who always blame everybody and praise the "civilized" and wonderful mother lanka? If UN, Red Cross or AI say something then they will wake up at once to tell them to take care of their business!

    It seems the bodies have been laid down in a very orderly fashion. One next to the other. Not just dumped one upon another. I don't understand why the killers were so careful? The depth of the grave yard however seems to be less than 6 feet (2nd image).

    Most probably these are bodies of the JVP youths killed during the 1988-89 rebellion.

    If it was done by criminals, then they would not have time for this orderliness. Clearly this is by the State, where the perpetrators were of authority and did not worry about detection.

    Can we clean the pit before Nava Pillai comes here!
