harassment of Sri Lankan women by the IPKF on the Jaffna peninsula,
please see the attached memo from Dennis J. Cole, IRBDC Research

sexual harassment of women by members of the various armed groups
during 1985 and 1986. However, please find attached one article
from the Human Rights Monitor for Sri Lanka, dated 3 March
1986, which mentions the rape and shooting of two women by the Home
