Testimony of John Sifton on Accountability and Human Rights in Sri Lanka

Thank you for providing Human Rights Watch with the opportunity to testify on Sri Lanka today. It is more than 12 years since the end of Sri Lanka’s brutal civil war, and the defeat of the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). However, as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said earlier this year, the country’s human rights situation is now deteriorating. The government is, under President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, “in a state of denial about the past,” and there are “warning signals” that grave rights violations may recur. Civil society groups and human rights defenders are being suppressed, and minority Tamil, Muslim, and Christian communities are being targeted with discriminatory laws, policies, and practices.

Justice denied over Lasantha assassination : Ahimsa

Share: COLOMBO (News1st): Ahimsa Wickrematunge, the daughter of slain journalist Lasantha Wickrematunge has told The Washington Post that Sri Lanka’s leaders have denied justice over her father’s assassination 12 years ago. In an opinion piece published on the 2nd of March, Ahimsa Wickrematunge recalled the incidents related to her father’s killing and the investigations that ensued into the matter. The daughter of the slain editor said it seems that killing a journalist is just another rite of passage for emerging autocrats, given the murders of journalists in the likes of Anna Politkovskaya and Jamal Khashoggi as well.
