Kiriella Assures Disappearance Bill Will be Taken up …

The disappearance  bill was  scheduled to be taken up in Parliament on Wednesday, but it was not taken for debate as scheduled due to  huge protests campaigns carried out by political parties and religious clergies including the Mahanayake Theras.

Leader of the House and MinisterLaksman Kiriella   said yesterday the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance Bill will be taken up for debate at a future date. He told parliament that media reports that the Bill was withdrawn  by the government was not true.
