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.
