Sri Lanka's main opposition, the United National Party, has called for an "independent international inquiry" into the killings of unarmed protestors by the army in Weliwariya last week.
"We cannot accept the government getting one of its henchmen to probe the killings," UNP general secretary Tissa Attanayake told reporters in Colombo.
"Innocent civilians have been massacred."
Unequal in death - Tamil Guardian Editorial (05 Aug 13)
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
