Tamils in America have called on US authorities to arrest Sri Lanka’s former defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, who is currently reported to be visiting the US.
"US should not miss the opportunity to arrest and prosecute one of the main war criminals in recent times visiting the US,” said Tamils for Obama and the American Tamil Forum. “Failure to do so would encourage others to commit abuses amounting to war crimes" said the two in a statement released on Tuesday.
"United States should take the same leadership it took at the UN to initiate investigation for the visiting Sri Lankan war criminal,” the statement further added.
