Australian Tamil Congress - Sri Lanka seeks to silence war crimes claims
“General Fonseka’s arrest is a clear message that the Government of Sri Lanka will detain anyone – even its own military leaders, if they threaten to expose its appalling human rights record.”
Dr Sam Pari – Spokesperson for the Australian Tamil Congress (ATC)
“General Fonseka indicated he would reveal sensitive information regarding war crimes which were committed during Sri Lanka’s civil conflict. His arrest shows the extent the Government of Sri Lanka will go to silence anyone who threatens to speak out against it.”
“This should be a clear message to the Australian government and the international community that Tamils facing persecution in Sri Lanka cannot expect justice from the country’s political system.”
