International truce monitors in Sri Lanka have issued a clarification of a press release from Saturday in which they had accused government armed forces of extrajudicial killings. The ri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) had said they believed that security forces were involved in extra-judicial killings of civilians in the north and east of the island, based on their own observation and enquiries on the ground. In a new statement issued on Tuesday the SLMM said that the Sri Lankan government had told that the government was not aware of any such activities, and that the SLMM believed the government was sincere in this respect. The SLMM also says it was not their intention to generalise about the Sri Lanka armed forces and police. The head of the the SLMM, Ulf Henricsson, was summoned to a meeting at the Foreign Ministry on Tuesday to discuss the issue. |
