'No probe' into 'atrocity photos'
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Sri Lanka denied a claim by its prime minister that a probe has been launched on recently emerged photographs that are said
to show a massacre of Tamils during the war.
Government spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella told journalists in Colombo on Wednesday that the government has not appointed any one to investigate the photographs.
The Global Tamil Forum (GTF), a group which includes former supporters of the separatist insurgents, released the images as the Sri Lankan foreign minister visited London. Some of the pictures apparently show the bloodstained bodies of bound and blindfolded young people. Prime Minister DM Jayaratna on Tuesday told BBC Sinhala service that a probe has been launched with regard to the photographs. However, Minister Rambukwella said that he is unaware of such a probe. Making the photographs available to media was condemned by Minister Rambukwella as a "deplorable last ditch effort by defeated forces". |
