If Not Sri Lanka Completed War Crimes Inquiry By March, I Will Push UN For An International Inquiry – Cameron
November 16, 2013
UK Prime Minister David Cameron has called on the government of Sri Lanka to set up an independent inquiry on alleged war crimes during the final stages of the country’s civil war against the Tamil Tiger rebels.
Cameron said on Saturday: “Let me be very clear. If an investigation is not completed by March, then I will use our position on the United Nations human rights council to work with the UN human rights commission and call for a full credible and independent international inquiry.”

Today Channel 4′s Jonathan Miller managed to film and talk Sri Lanka’s secret police who followed them.
