The Sri Lankan government is assessing the situation to decide on what action should be taken against those submitting evidence to the OHCHR Investigation into Sri Lanka (OISL), the government spokesperson Minister Keheliya Rambukwella told The Sunday Leader.
“We cannot work on speculations. We will decide then and there what procedures need to be followed against those who are found giving evidence,” Rambukwella said.
Asked if the government would block people from submitting evidence, Rambukwella reportedly said "that it depends on the situation and they would establish a process if required".

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.
