There is a huge culture of fear. No, they are not open.
Everybody I spoke to was frightened for their extended families back in Sri Lanka. That goes for the people I talked to a few years ago, for the research for my book on the end of war. Most of them, even though they had asylum in the U.K. or in Europe, would not give their real names, and were terrified that their fathers or brothers could be identified. The same thing goes, yes, for the ongoing rape and torture.
It's pretty easy for the authorities to identify someone if they show their face. They seem to have extremely good intelligence. It's a small area, and you hear about each village having informers. There's a lot of pressure. I think there's an enormous amount of fear.
There's fear post-CHOGM, too, I think, amongst the journalistic community. There's quite a lot of anxiety about what will happen.
