A cross-party coalition of British MPs convened to reiterate the need for international judges, prosecutors, investigators and witness protection experts in any accountability process in Sri Lanka.
The All Party Parliamentary Group For Tamils (APPG-T) chaired by James Berry MP convened in the House of Commons last week in an annual event organised by the British Tamils Forum to discuss the rights situation in Sri Lanka.
Members of Parliament addressing the event called for international pressure to ensure that international judges were included in any accountability process and raised concerns with regards to ongoing military encroachment of Tamil land in the North-East.
The event was attended by many MPs including Vice Chair of the APPG-T MP Wes Streeting, MP Mike Gapes, MP Barry Gardiner, MP Tom Brake, MEP Syed Kammal, MP Keith Vaz, MP John Mann and British Foreign Minister Hugo Swire.
