Sunila Abeyasekera: No clarity on what is on offer for the Tamil minority

Sunila Abeyasekera, the well-known human rights activist discusses with Newsclick the situation in Sri Lanka after the defeat of the Tamil Tigers. She discusses that for a lasting peace in Sri Lanka, the rights of the minorities -- human rights, linguistic rights, cultural rights -- need to be guaranteed and protected. This is far from the case right now with atrocities, disappearances and other violations still continuing.
