The government will announce its stance this evening on the UK government’s recent sanctions against four Sri Lankans, Cabinet Spokesman Minister Nalinda Jayathissa said.
The minister was responding to questions about the delay in addressing what many view as a serious matter.
The UK government imposed sanctions on four individuals, including former senior military commanders, over alleged serious human rights abuses during Sri Lanka’s civil war.
Those sanctioned include former head of the Sri Lankan Armed Forces Shavendra Silva, former Navy Commander Wasantha Karannagoda, former Army Commander Jagath Jayasuriya, and former LTTE military commander Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan, also known as Karuna Amman. (Newswire)
