Geneva resolution: A diplomatic challenge Daily News (via HT Media Ltd.)
Sri Lanka will face its next major diplomatic hurdle in the coming weeks when it confronts a resolution against it at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) sessions in Geneva, a practise which has now become almost an annual ritual for successive governments in Colombo.
These resolutions arose in the aftermath of the conclusion of the Eelam war in May 2009. Following the end of the conflict, there were allegations that human rights were violated by both Sri Lankan troops and members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) terrorist group.

A photo purporting to show a Muslim woman attacked by her community for marrying a Sinhalese man in Sri Lanka has been shared in multiple Facebook posts. The claim is misleading; the image shows an incident that occurred in India in 2018.
The claim was shared by this Facebook post from July 3, 2019 and has since recirculated here, here and here.

The post features a screenshot of a Facebook post from Sinhala language newspaper Mawbima, which shared an article reporting that a Muslim woman was assaulted by a group of Islamic extremists in a Sri Lankan suburb for marrying a Sinhalese man. The article has since been taken down.
