We are not a colony.”David Cameron on Thursday wrote in Tamil Guardian that he will “demand that the Sri Lankan government independently and transparently investigates alleged war crimes and allegations of continuing human rights abuses; guarantees freedom of expression; and stamps out intimidation of journalists and human rights defenders - including by bringing those responsible to justice.”
