The Human Rights Watch has called for an investigation into war crimes allegations against the lTTE, starting with a probe into role played by the former deputy leader, now a Sri lankan deputy minister.
The New York-based rights watch group has termed “cynical” call for probe by Vinayagamurthi Muralitharan aka Karuna, currently deputy minister of resettlement in UPFA coalition led by President Mahinda Rajapaksa, given minister’s alleged “prominent” role in war crimes. “The Sri lankan Government should act on call by a Government deputy minister to investigate war crimes by examining his own role in serious abuses”, statement said.
