The TNA's MA Sumanthiran called for a strong report on the OHCHR Investigation on Sri Lanka (OISL), on its delayed release in September.
Speaking to media on Tuesday, the MP said the deferral of the report caused disappointment to the victims, but that UN officials had expressed their confidence that the delayed report will be stronger than if it was released in March.
Mr Sumanthiran said it was important the report is "solid and strong and should liberate our people from their worries".
“The Sri Lankan government which has previously refused the international investigation, has now voluntarily asked for the release of the[OISL] report in September. Importantly, this is equivalent to accepting the international mechanism,” he said.
