Sri Lanka

Violence has been increasing in Sri Lanka, especially since the Sri Lankan government decided to pull out of a ceasefire with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam on Jan. 2, 2008.

 Since mid-2006, thousands of non-combatant civilians have died and at least 460,000 have been displaced.

There have been over 1,100 "disappearances" since the beginning of 2006.
