Amnesty — 'Old Ghosts in New Garb' (2021)
Amnesty International's 2021 report documenting the resurgence under post-2019 Sri Lanka of patterns of surveillance, intimidation and targeting of human-rights defenders, journalists and families of the disappeared.
'Old Ghosts in New Garb' is one of the most-cited mid-Aarambam Tier-A reports because it shows the continuity question in real time: the patterns OISL documented in 2015 did not end with the 2015–19 political opening. They returned.
§1What it documents
Surveillance of families of the disappeared, intimidation of human-rights defenders and journalists, militarisation of civilian spaces in the North-East, and the chilling effect of the PTA and proposed Online Safety legislation.
