Parliament sitting were temporarily suspended in Sri Lanka after MPs clashed on discussion on the implementation of a resolution on promoting reconciliation, accountability and human rights adopted at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC.)
Leader of the National Freedom Front (NFF) Wimal Weerawansa accused the Sri Lanka’s prime minister of agreeing to a hybrid court without consulting parliament. The leader of the Hosue Lakshman Kiriella responded, stating that there was no such recommendation for a Hybrid court at the UNHRC, adding that it was the imagination of Mr Weerawansa.
A few other MPs displayed a banner that opposed a hybrid accountability court in Sri Lanka whilst parliament sittings were temporarily suspended, reports Ceylon Today.
