Despite claims that more 40,000 were killed during the final phase of war in Sri Lanka, South Asian Terrorism Portal (SATP) reveals that the final stage of war saw a peak of at least 15,565 fatalities. 

The body has made this revelation in its yearly assessment for 2014. SATP is the largest website on terrorism and low intensity warfare in South Asia, and creates the database and analytic context for research and analysis of all extremist movements in the region.

In its latest report, the STAP makes following remarks on Sri Lanka and its war against terrorism,

"In particular, Sri Lanka has seen no terrorism-linked fatalities after 2009, the year in which the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) were comprehensively defeated, and which saw a peak of at least 15,565 fatalities, according to partial data compiled by SATP. An international network of surviving LTTE elements and sympathisers in the Diaspora continue with propaganda activities, including strident posturing in the Indian State of Tamil Nadu, but the capacity for violence on Sri Lankan soil has been entirely obliterated."

UN Experts Panel, which was appointed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon concluded a few years ago that at least 40000 were killed during the final phase of war in Sri Lanka which saw its peak in May, 2009.
