Dear President Rajapakse;
Re: Reprisals against supporters of Human Rights Council Resolution A/HRC/19/L.2,
“Promoting Reconciliation and Accountability in Sri Lanka”
Lawyers Rights Watch Canada (LRWC)[1] is deeply concerned about the intimidation, harassment and threats directed by Sri Lanka government officials at human rights defenders, including lawyers, journalists, and human rights activists, advocating for adherence to the law and the rule of law in Sri Lanka. In particular, we are concerned for the safety and security of Ms. Sunila Abeysekara, Dr. Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu, Dr. Nimalka Fernando and Mr. Sunanda Deshapriya who were subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats and a smear campaign because of their support for the resolution, “Promoting Reconciliation and Accountability in Sri Lanka” (Resolution), adopted by the Human Rights Council (Council) on 22 March 2012.Full Story>>>
