Army tells
Channel 4, NGOs and Tamil Diaspora :
‘Present allegations to LLRC
with evidence’
‘Channel Four
should present the allegations they
make against Sri Lanka Army with
evidence to the Lessons Learnt and
Reconciliation Commission (LLRC)
instead of dramatizing their old
video clips taken from open sources
of pro-LTTE websites’, the Sri Lanka
Army yesterday said. “NGO
activists,such as, Pakiasothy
Sarawanamuttu, Sunila Abeysekara,
Nimalka Fernando and Sunanda
Deshapriya from Sri Lanka, could
have done the same, if they had any
true interest in Sri Lanka’s human
rights situation”, states the Army.
