Discussed with @HRCSriLanka the injustice of violence against unarmed protesters and the need for a full, transparent investigation of the Rambukkana violence. @HRCSriLanka’s work to protect the rights of all Sri Lankans, including peaceful protesters, has never been more important.
Meanwhile, the Human Rights Commission has dispatched a team of investigators to Rambukkana to hold an on the spot investigation.
Meanwhile, in Parliament SJB, Parliamentarian Nalin Bandara accused one SSP Keerthiratne as responsible for the shooting incident.
He said three Cabinet Ministers, each from Hambantota, Kandy, and Kegalle, should take responsibility for exerting pressure on Kerthiratne to open fire on the peaceful protestors. Keerthiraten, on the other hand, has used three Policemen who expended 90 bullets at the protesting crowd.
