The director of Amnesty International UK, Kate Allen, said,
“CHOGM should not just be an opportunity for President Rajapaksa and his government to sign business deals whilst clinking glasses with David Cameron and other leaders. CHOGM ought to be a moment when the world examines Sri Lanka’s appalling human rights record, remembers the 4000 dead and calls for accountability.”
