Members of Sri Lanka’s Joint Opposition staged a protest outside the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on Thursday.

Sri Lankan parliamentarians Dullas Alahapperuma, Udaya Gammanpila, Prasanna Ranatunga, Rohitha Abeygunawardena and Bandula Gunawardena were reportedly amongst those present at the demonstration, which saw a few dozen protestors waving Sri Lankan flags.

 

Placards were also held stating that Sri Lankan troops were engaged in a “humanitarian mission” and for the protection of military “war heroes”.
