The Black Cat group, or the Black Cats, was a pro-United National Party (UNP) paramilitary group in Sri Lanka. [1][2] The Black Cats were initially formed following the electoral victory of President Ranasinghe Premadasa. It was the predominant anti-communist paramilitary of the United National Party.[3][4][5]
The group was not publicly recognized until late 1989. It was one of the 13 death squads sponsored by the Sri Lankan government to suppress opposition during the 1987–1989 JVP insurrection.[3][6]
