Sri Lanka s Government must take meaningful action to determine and disclose the fates and whereabouts of tens of thousands of people who have been subjected to enforced disappearance over the decades and hold those responsible to account, a UN Human Rights Office report released today (May 17) says. 
The four accused in the case over the shooting to death of three persons and injuring 45 others during a protest by villagers demanding clean drinking water at Rathupaswala in 2013, have been acquitted by the Gampaha High Court Trial-at-Bar. 
The Department of Meteorology has issued an advisory for heavy rain, strong winds and rough seas for the sea areas extending from Kalpitiya to Pottuvil via Colombo, Galle and Hambantota. 
The Ella-Wellawaya road which was temporarily closed due to inclement weather conditions has been reopened for traffic movement. 
The Department of Meteorology says showery and windy conditions are expected to enhance due to pre-monsoonal conditions over the country and surrounding sea areas. 
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has highlighted Sri Lanka s commendable macroeconomic policies, rapid inflation decline, and steady economic growth. Copyright © 2007 - 2024 Col3neg. All Rights Reserved.
