Former foreign minister slams gov for allowing UN working group into Sri Lanka

Former Foreign Minister Professor GL Peiris criticised Sri Lanka’s government for allowing the United Nations Working group for Enforced disappearances (WGEID).

Mr Peiris said that no country will allow a foreign group to have access to its Navy camp, and accused the United Nations Working Group of making false claims after visiting the camp.

The former foreign minister went on to accuse the government of preparing to arrest 20 intelligence officers under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, reports Colombo Gazette.
