In a bid to pressure Sri Lanka over accountability issues the launch of a new Sinhala version of the feature documentary No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka, has been launched at the House of Commons, the twitter page for the documentary posted a message by organisers.
According to reports among those scheduled to attend the launch are Director Callum Macrae, Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh, Conservative MP Lee Scott. The meeting is also said to be addressed by a Sri Lankan in exile, Bashana Abeywardana.
The House of Commons event will coincide with British Prime Minister David Cameron meeting visiting Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena at No 10, Downing Street.
The organisers claimed the Sinhala version of the documentary would be a challenge to the new administration in Sri Lanka.
Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is due to vacate his official residence at Wijerama Mawatha, Colombo this morning, a Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) source said.
The Presidents’ Entitlements (Repeal) Bill was passed by a majority of 150 in parliament today. However the opposition MP’s were absent during the voting.
