Former Navy Spokesperson, Commander D.K.P Dassanayake’s daughter told media her request to meet and lodge a complaint about her father’s detention by Sri Lanka’s law enforcement authority, to visiting UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, had been turned down. She said she tried to explain the matter to the visiting UN delegation at the end of the media conference. “I was told that since the matter was not connected to an LTTE case, they can’t meet her,” she told the media after her failed attempt to meet them soon after the press conference recently. She said she came to learn that the delegation members would not come out until she left the premises. She also said that the delegation visited LTTE detainees during last eleven days, but never visited her father at the Welikada Prison Hospital.
