Wimal wants parliamentary debate on UN report

The National Freedom Front's Wimal Weerawansa has requested the speaker of Sri Lanka's parliament for a debate on the recommendations of the OHCHR report, which includes the call for a hybrid justice mechanism.

In a letter the former minister said the government had already agreed with the UN Human Rights Council to form a branch of the International Criminal Court in the country, under the name of a hybrid court.

Mr Weerawansa, who won the second highest number of votes in Colombo, said he and the people would not allow for such a court to be established.
