March fortnight toll
34 Tamil civilians were killed and 24 were recorded disappeared by GoSL operated forces during the first fortnight of March. No disappearances were recorded in Batticaloa highlights the total black out of information coming out of Batticaloa. This blackout also is observable in the reporting of the refugee crisis there.
A Jaffna University student, a Christian pastor and his two adult sons were among those killed and disappeared. A father was shot and killed as he traveled with his wife and young child. The charts below shows the statistics for the fortnight.
