Mangala insists SL stands by Palestine
Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera yesterday defended Sri Lanka’s decision to abstain from voting on a UNESCO resolution, denouncing Israeli violations in and around the Temple Mount compound in the occupied Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds.
Sri Lankan Muslim groups are planning protests on Friday against the Government decision to abstain, which is seen as a betrayal of the Palestinian cause.
