Lord Naseby of Britain accuses UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet of trying to make the LTTE heroic in her report on Sri Lanka.
Based on the report, the UN Human Rights Council s hosting body in Sri Lanka, including the United Kingdom, will submit a resolution to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
Lord Naseby, who is also chairman of the British Parliamentary Group on Sri Lanka, points out that the LTTE s atrocities were forgotten in the Human Rights Commissioner s report.
