Top Aussie diplomat in Sri Lanka criticised
Updated
Australia's High Commissioner in Sri Lanka has been criticised for taking part in a ceremony in which former Tamil rebels were given certificates of rehabilitation.
The former rebels at military-run run camps where they've been held since the end of the civil war had gone through a two year rehabilitation process.
But John Dowd, president of the International Commission of Jurists in Australia, says the camps are run for re-education, not rehabilitation purposes.
He says no Australian diplomat should be participating in such a process.
