A constituent party from Sri Lanka’s ruling alliance announced that it was pleased over the decision to refuse a visa for the US Ambassador for Women’s Issues Catherine Russell.
The National Freedom Front, headed by Sri Lankan Minister Wimal Weerawamsa had stated they were pleased with the decision taken by the Sri Lankan government, even though External Affairs Ministry stated reports of a refusal were “erroneous”.
The United States had labelled the decision "regrettable".
Commenting on the matter, NFF Spokesperson Mohammed Muzammil told a press conference that several NGOs were conspiring against Sri Lanka and that no incident of war crimes had taken place in the country.
