MR's statement against Office of the Missing Persons is a blatant attack on rule of law: AHRC
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) said yesterday that the statement made by Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa the former head of state in Sri Lanka, that ‘establishing the office of the Missing Persons is a betrayal of the armed forces’ is a statement unbecoming of a former head of the state and a prominent political leader in Sri Lanka.
What it directly says is that enforced disappearances which is an internationally recognised heinous crime should not be investigated
