A Note on Sri Lanka

In Le Monde I found this article, "Sri Lanka: comment faire taire les témoins d'un massacre," which summarizes the reports of a doctor working in a Sri Lankan hospital, which came under mortar attacks from the government forces and then was swamped with casualties despite the lack of medical equipment and any guarantee of safety. This doctor and two others are (as of the time of the article's publication) in prison on the suspicion of having made rebel-friendly remarks to the press.
