Govt deciding on action against those who submit evidence to UN inquiry

The Sri Lankan government is assessing the situation to decide on what action should be taken against those submitting evidence to the OHCHR Investigation into Sri Lanka (OISL), the government spokesperson Minister Keheliya Rambukwella told The Sunday Leader.

“We cannot work on speculations. We will decide then and there what procedures need to be followed against those who are found giving evidence,” Rambukwella said.

Asked if the government would block people from submitting evidence, Rambukwella reportedly said "that it depends on the situation and they would establish a process if required".
