Since independence in 1948 sri lanka allowed the electorate exercise their franchise to elect legislature according to the Constitution. Like the war crimes the electoral commissioner has maintained a catalog of events associated with the elections leading killing contrary to executions carried out by successive governments in defence of democracy. JVP 1971 uprising was suppressed by the unaccounted numbers of indiscriminate killings under Siri**vo. most likely the government forces were authorised to kill at will and nothing was recorded and questions of violation of human rights were questioned then. This process of hounding and killing of suspects continued for a decade and associated with it political violence whose main architect was from the UNP and this was done with a collobarotion of the very people responsible for maintaining law an order!
