London, Saturday - Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner in the United Kingdom, Kshenuka Senewiratne, was summoned to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office for a meeting on Tuesday over issues relating to renegade Tiger guerrilla leader Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias Karuna entering Britain with official backing from the Government of Sri Lanka.
The British High Commission yesterday defended its envoy Dominick Chilcott’s controversial statement made earlier this week, as the envoy was set to take a new posting in Washington next month.
The United Nations Staff Union is expected to advise its 13,000 members worldwide to avoid assignments in Sri Lanka because it is "among the world's most dangerous places for aid workers."
