The Amnesty International Report On "Meeruti" Massacre

Reuters reported the following on the 19th November 1987:

    "Amnestly International has concluded that there is strong evidence that members of
     the Provincial Armed Constabulary were responsible for the Muslim massacre and the
     deliberate killing of unarmed civilians during the riots and following days. There is also
     evidence to suggest that at least five Muslims arrested in connection with the rioting died
     in jail mainly as a result of injuries inflicted upon them after arrest."

The report added that witnesses had charged PAC officers (all Brahmins and High caste Hindus) of herding Muslims into trucks and later shooting  them dead. Their bodies were then tossed into canals and rivers.
