Mangala to ask Barack and Hillary to investigate Gotabhaya

by A Special Correspondent

Moves are on to request US President elect Barack Obama and Secretary of state designate Hilary Clinton to investigate the conduct of a US citizen Gotabhaya Rajapakse in Sri Lanka.

Opposition political leader Mangala Samaraweera is behind moves to investigate the Sri Lankan defence secretary for alleged acts of state terrorism in Sri Lanka.

A detailed dossier outlining several instances of human rights violations by Government related or Govt controlled agents has been prepared for submission to the new dispensation in the United States of America (USA)

Most of the cases cited amount to deliberate, pre-planned acts of state terrorism.

Defence secretary and Presidential sibling Gotabhaya Rajapakse who is a US citizen has been named as being directly and indirectly responsible for many such incidents.

Leader of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party’s Mahajana Wing, Mangala Samaraweera says he has prepared a detailed report of human rights violations in Sri Lanka to be handed over to US President elect Barack Obama.

He said that he had requested US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to immediately investigate a US national who is behind the “international conspiracy to destroy Sri Lanka’s democracy.”

Samaraweera said that he will make arrangements to meet Clinton and will be flying to America soon for a meeting with the new secretary of state.

He said that an American citizen was behind the attack on the MTV/NBC building and also the killing of Sunday Leader editor Lasantha Wickrematunge.

He also said he was going to ask the US State Department to investigate this person since he had “betrayed the US by being involved in such acts.”

Samaraweera further added that he will be submitting a detailed report on this person along with evidence and will be closely watching the steps taken by Obama’s government with regard to this matter.
