What Happened
Condemning the Sri Lankan state�s failure punish those responsible for the 2000 massacre of Tamils held at the Bindunuwewa detention facility, the Asian Human Rights Commission Tuesday said �Sri Lankan system of justice is guilty of ensuring immunity for offenders.� As a consequence, the Hong Kong based group warned: �this massacre was not the first of its kind, and will certainly not be the last.� The full statement of the AHRC, titled �The Bindunuwewa Massacre and Sri Lanka�s defective justice system� follows: �On 25 October 2000, more than 25 young Tamils at a rehabilitation centre in Bindunuwewa near Bandarawela in the south-central part of the island were attacked and killed by a Sinhalese group. Who were the actual culprits? Who were their masterminds?
