Around 2,000 Sri Lankans gathered today outside the UN Human Rights Council headquarters in Geneva, in protest at the resolution on Sri Lanka, to be tabled later this week.

The protestors accused NGOs of attempting to divide Sri Lanka and the High Commissioner Navi Pillay of bias, carrying banners with messages in English, French and Sinhala.
