Chemmani / Kokkuthoduvai mass-grave excavations — court-supervised file (1999 → present)
tlte-cite:chemmani-mass-grave-2025Court-supervised exhumations at Chemmani (Jaffna) and Kokkuthoduvai (Mullaitivu). First triggered by Corporal Somaratne Rajapakse's 1998 court testimony; multiple excavation phases since. Approximately 283 sets of remains are publicly referenced on the court record — this is a judicial figure, not a TLTE count, and must not be merged into OMP's 6,700 or the civil-society 16,700. Cause, identification, perpetrator, and command chain are matters only for a credentialed judicial and forensic process. TLTE never asserts any of those. Sits inside the standing OHCHR Sri Lanka Accountability Project file (HRC res. 46/1, 51/1, 57/1, and renewed 60/1). The Chemmani sub-page at /unmai/desk/disappearances/chemmani-excavations cites this record without mirroring it.
