This from Amnesty International:

On May 13th President Obama made a statement condemning the bloodshed in Sri Lanka. In the last few days, more than 400 people – including more than 100 children – are reported to have been killed in a two-day bombardment of the 2 square kilometer area designated as a “Safe Zone” by the Sri Lankan army. This brings the total estimated casualty figure to more than 7,000 civilians killed and 13,000 injured since January. There are an estimated 50,000 civilians still trapped in the area. There are real fears that the bloodbath – as the UN has called it – will turn into a flood of misery after May 13 when general elections end in neighboring India. Call on President Obama to follow up his statement with actions to protect civilians in Sri Lanka’s war zone.
