The United States has warned Sri Lanka over its attempts to silence those who cooperate with the UN on the OHCHR Investigation in Sri Lanka (OISL).
The US Ambassador to the UN Human Rights Council Keith Harper said in a tweet that attempts at intimidation to those individuals were an attack on the UN.
