The need for an international investigation into war crimes and crimes against humanity during Sri Lanka’s war was reiterated Tuesday at a Parliamentary reception in Britain, attended by 40 MPs as well as representatives from leading NGOs, embassies and High Commissions in London, British, Tamil, Sinhala and Indian media organisations, and senior Tamil activists. The event was hosted by parliamentarians Lee Scott (Conservative) and Siobhain McDonagh (Labour), Chair and Vice-Chair the All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamil (APPG-T) and was facilitated by the Global Tamil Forum (GTF). In a statement Friday, Mr. Scott said: “There will be no hiding place for the senior people in the Government of Sri Lanka. We will not stop until justice for the victims of war crimes is served.”
