As a United Nations Human Rights Council meeting that will examine Sri Lanka's civil rights record begins in Geneva, a report released by Human Rights Watch, We Will Teach You a Lesson, details 75 statements from Tamil victims who say they were raped and tortured by soldiers, police and other pro-government paramilitary groups.

Thirty-one of the victims allege they were raped after the cessation of Sri Lanka's long-running civil war in May 2009.
