The 1977 anti-Tamil pogrom in Sri Lanka followed the 1977 general elections in Sri Lanka where the Sri Lankan Tamil nationalistic Tamil United Liberation Front won a plurality of minority Sri Lankan Tamil votes in which it stood for secession. An official estimate put the death toll at 125. The Tamil Refugees Rehabilitation Organization estimated that around 300 Tamils were killed by Sinhalese mobs. Human rights groups, such as the UTHR-J, accused the newly elected UNP run Sri Lankan government of orchestrating the violence. Though the majority of victims were Tamils, Sinhalese in Tamil majority areas were also affected by violence committed by Tamil mobs.

  • Le pogrom anti-Tamoul de 1977 du Sri Lanka est survenu juste après les élections législatives de 1977 où le parti politique séparatiste Tamil United Liberation Front est devenu le Parti de l'opposition, à la surprise générale. Près de 300 Tamouls ont été tués dans des émeutes qui ont survenu dans plusieurs provinces cingalaises, et des milliers de communistes du Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna ont été chassés de leurs maisons. Les massacres ont été initiés et ont activement été soutenus par le gouvernement sri lankais cingalais au pouvoir. (fr)
