In response, Sri Lanka’s 5th Executive President, Mahinda Rajapaksa, has issued a strong statement rejecting these allegations and highlighting the historical context of the war. He defends the actions taken by the Sri Lankan government and military, refutes claims of widespread human rights abuses, and criticizes the UK’s approach as being driven by political motives rather than facts. Read his full statement below.
