|
Minister of Human Rights Mahinda Samarasinghe stated at a meeting in Bandaragama that the govt completely rejects any international monitoring panel on Sri Lanka.
He said the request being made by pro LTTE foreign organizations
haunting the international community to conduct investigations on human
rights issues in Sri Lanka and that this will not be permitted under any
circumstances.
The Minister added that the President did not permit any violation of
human rights during the humanitarian operation in the north and in a
situation where the Internationality should actually appreciate the
defeating of vicious terrorism in a country that was tormented with
internal strife by it, belittling this great achievement this way is
nothing but hypocrisy and international intervention. |
