UNP Media Unit Chief MP Lakshman Kiriella warns that Sri Lanka can be imposed economic sanctions if the debate in the European parliament on the125 page 'Human Rights' magazine report on human rights violations, disappearances, abductions, ransom taking and killing of civilians will lead to pass a proposal against the country.
He said that based on the reports of the Human Rights Watch, a proposal had been put forward to the European parliament to send a UN delegation and to set up a permanent office in Sri Lanka. The UNP MP further said in addition to the delegation, sanctions might also be imposed if the proposal is passed in the parliament.
MP Kiriella expressed these views at a press conference held in the official residence of the Opposition Leader. He said that Sri Lanka has trade relations mostly with US and EU and no trade is with certain countries although they are friendly. He said that the country could be happy if the massive amounts of money spent for the colossal government delegations in abroad tours are productive. However, the result of these tours is many countries being enemies and the UN has also included facts against Sri Lanka in the agenda of the UN general assembly, MP Kiriella says.
Mr. Kiriella said that the government had to correct the previous statement that was issued after the recent tour of President's special delegation to India. He said that the pilgrims sent to foreign tours did not include wise and educated individuals that can render a service to the country.
