The Sri Lankan government has rejected the resolution passed at the European Union Parliament yesterday, calling on Sri Lanka to implement the recommendations of its own controversial Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission, while appreciating “restoration of peace”.
Sri Lanka’s Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella responded that the government alone will decide which recommendations will be implemented and by when.
“The LLRC was formed not for anyone else but by the President to address our own issues for own people so we will see about it.”

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
