Parliament will hold an adjournment debate today on the "Difficulties Faced by the Palestinian People at Present."
The debate will be held from 1.30pm to 5.30pm. Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Imthiaz Bakeer Markar will move the adjournment motion for the opposition.
Mr Bakeer Markar's motion notes that all efforts made by the United Nations to mete out justice to the freedom struggle of the Palestinian people to liberate the land of Palestine have been supressed by the occupying forces using veto power.
"The inhumane, suppression and expansionism which continues to occupy the land by force, treating the Palestinian land as an open-air prison campe and depriving the true heirs of the motherland of the dignity of humanity, is an ineffaceable stain on the conscience of mankind," the motion adds.
Former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines, Nishantha Wickramasinghe, arrested on allegation of corruption by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has been remanded until July 1 by the Colombo Magistrate court.
