U.N. High Commissioner for human rights, Navi Pillay has again criticised Sri Lanka for failing to examine abuses committed during the civil war last year between the government forces and Tamil Tiger rebels. Pillay presented her 2009 report to the annual session of the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva on Thursday. “In Sri Lanka, the opportunity for peace and reconciliation continues to be marred by the treatment of journalists, human rights defenders and other critics of government” the High Commissioner said. In an earlier interview with the BBC, Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said he would not allow any such investigation as “there is no reason.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/sinhala/news/story/2010/03/100304_pillai.shtml
