Sooriyakanda mass graves refers to a mass burial site in Sooriyakanda, Sri Lanka in which it was alleged that over 300 bodies are buried.
After a request by the UN regarding the mass graves the Government reported that an excavation of the graves had been carried out on 14 September 1994 under the supervision of the High Court and resulted in the discovery of further skeletal remains. The report also indicated that a team of forensic, investigative and legal experts helped the court in order to ensure a proper and scientific excavation and assist the further discovery and identification of bodies and the circumstances in which they were buried at Sooriyakanda.
