Navi Pillay briefed on 'development' in Northern Province

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, was given a lavish welcome from Sri Lankan officials in the Northern province on Tuesday.


Attending a meeting arranged at the Jaffna Pubilc Library, local district governors briefed Pillay on the resettlement, rehabilitation and development carried out in the war torn provinces since 2009.

The briefing given to Pillay was in stark contrast with the demonstrations that occurred outside the library as she spoke to government officials.
