A video showing inhuman treatment of prisoners of Sri Lankan prison has emerged. Sources state that at least 20 prisoners are being subjected to torture in the prison.  The video dates back to November 22, 2018 and was shot inside Angunukolapelessa prison complex. The prison guards are seen beating up inmates.
