Addressing the gathering before launching the protest campaign,
Weerawansa said he will not stop his fast-unto -death campaign until the
advisory panel is dissolve.
Weerawansa appealed to International Powers specially China and
Russia to impose pressure on Ban Ki-moon to dissolve the special
advisory panel appointed by him at his own whim.
He said he will continue the protest campaign overpowering any type
of rival challenges imposed on him.
National Patriotic Movement President Gunadasa Amarasekera said the
appointment of the special advisory panel is clearly violating the UN
procedures and unethical. |
