missing word in introduction

seems like a word was dropped in previous edits. judging from the edit request on 4 june 2022, this was due to a recent edit.

>during the last years of the Sri Lankan civil as well as other criminal accusations

the word "war" is missing from "Sri Lankan civil war"

don't need edit access, just fix this please :) 73.116.209.212 (talk) 12:13, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
