Every day a Priest from the north of Sri Lanka sends me situation updates of his parish area, detailing how many people were abducted by government or rebel forces, students were shot or women were raped. The whole country is decending into full out chaos, with no functioning institutions to protect the people (ie. the judicial system, police system, the national human rights commission). The whole minority Tamil community is being systematically picked off with violence spreading to journalists, academics, trade unionists and business men. The Priest sent me this picture: their Lady is crying blood.
