Sri Lanka condemns attack on Canadian Mission

Sri Lanka has vehemently condemned the attack by a group of unruly demonstrators on the Canadian High Commission in Colombo on May 27.

In a statement, Foreign Minister, Rohitha Bogollagama has called the attack on the Canadian Mission a 'senseless and unlawful act of violence', which he deplored in the strongest possible terms.

The law enforcement authorities have been directed to investigate this incident.
