LINK TO RADIO (MP3): In the devastating final months of Sri Lanka’s 30-year civil war, tens of thousands of Tamil civilian women, men and children were killed, with scores denied necessary food and medical care. More than a year and a half later, the Sri Lankan government is still shirking war crimes investigations. Last week, it cut off talks for bringing a UN War Crimes panel to Colombo. We'll talk to Vasuki Neisah, a lawyer and Sri Lankan activist, about the ongoing struggle for accountability and justice in Sri Lanka.
