Sri Lanka’s Permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Ravinatha Aryasinha alleged that negative narratives organised by pro-LTTE elements continue unabated in Geneva.
Speaking to the expatriate Sri Lankan community, Aryasinha, commended the efforts of Sri Lankans in Switzerland who had challenging ‘on-sided’ events held in Geneva and debunking falsehoods.
Addressing the event he said,
“I am also greatly encouraged by what I have seen particularly over the past few months, where across Switzerland, some valiant Sri Lankans, found the time, resources and the energy to make their presence felt, by turning up and challenging the many one-sided events being organised in this country by pro-LTTE elements.”
The permanent representative's observations come as a recently leaked UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) report outlined that an international inquiry in Sri Lanka was needed.

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
