UNP MP Sajith Premadasa said earlier today that his party is against foreign intervention in Sri Lanka’s domestic affairs.
Premadasa said the soldiers who had sacrificied their lives for the country deserved the respect of the entire country, including the opposition.
He said that despite differences with the ruling party, the UNP and the government must stand united against any attempts by the international community to force an international investigation into war crimes.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
