The situation in Sri Lanka is "the worst it's ever been," according to
Sunila Abeysekera, executive director of INFORM, a human rights
documentation center in Sri Lanka. Sunila has worked as a human rights
activist in Sri Lanka for more than two decades. As major fighting
resumes between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of
Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Sunila and Fred Abrahams, senior emergencies
researcher at Human Rights Watch, discuss the main human rights problems
and challenges facing the country. The interview was recorded in Colombo
on October 11, 2006.
