Abstract
CHHATTISGARH STATE, India?It was 4 p.m. one March afternoon in 2008. The vic tims were living in a relief camp in a village called Matwada. Two dozen members of a government-backed civilian militia, accom panied by at least one police officer, burst into their homes. They dragged four men out onto the street, across from a paramili tary office, and began to beat them with sticks. They paused to pour water over the Matwada men, waking them when they fainted out of pain and fear. When their wives flung themselves across their hus bands' weakened bodies, they were beaten too. Then the men were dragged from sight, into the forest. One managed to escape. The next day the remaining three were found buried next to a stream, stabbed in the eyes and the neck and finished off with a knife
