Wickramabahu Expresses Regret At UNHRC Report Recommendations

Nava Sama Samaja Party leader Dr. Wickramabahu Karunaratne regreted that the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Investigation on Sri Lanka (OISL) report has recommended a hybrid court rather than an international investigation.

Speaking at a press conference today, the veteran NSSP leader said that the nature of human rights violations warranted an international investigation.

He also said that this decision was a rejection of the pro-democracy movement in the country which brought forth the change at the January 8 Presidential Election.

The OISL report which was released yesterday in Geneva recommended a hybrid tribunal with the participation of international and domestic experts to look into the alleged human rights violations.
