Killing Fields video evidence ‘builds case for war crimes’
[Channel 4]
Documenting the final weeks of the bloody civil war when an estimated 40,000 people died, the Channel 4 documentary Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields reveals shocking new evidence of serious war crimes. The film includes footage of government soldiers executing bound prisoners; the dead bodies of naked, abused women dumped in a truck; and the bombing of civilian hospitals. The barbaric images were captured on mobile phones, many apparently by government soldiers filming grim trophy videos.
