SL assures EU to change terror law to win GSP export facility   Fri, Jul 02 2021 08:29:50 AM By Susitha Fernando Colombo, Jul 2 (IANS): Amidst the fear of losing the Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+) trade preferential access to European markets, Sri Lanka informed the European Union (EU) that it was ready to amend the draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), the highly criticised law which was used to arrest a large number of Tamil political prisoners and detained them extensively during and after the ethnic war against Tamil separatists in the northern part of the island nation. The EU was apprised of the process that has been set in motion to release detainees who have been in judicial custody for a prolonged period, under the PTA, the Sri Lankan Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued on Thursday night.
