The Sri Lankan Minister Wimal Weerawansa warned that the Permanent People's Tribunal, which found Sri Lanka guilty of committing a genocide against the Tamil people, had launched an anti-Sri Lanka campaign, reported the Daily Mirror.
Speaking to press from his party office, Minister Weerawansa said that the PPT, along with the TNA, wanted to ensure another resolution was passed against the UN Human Rights Council on Sri Lanka.
Weerawansa said,
“The TNA has reportedly said there will be a struggle against the government if the incumbent governor Major General G.A. Chandrasiri was not replaced with a civilian governor by March. This is a direct challenge to the authority of the President and to the state. Therefore, the NFP urges the government to take steps to introduce amendments to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution through the Parliamentary Select Committee and remove the threat posed by 13A.”

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
