The British Member of Parliament for Rochdale, Simon Danczuk, is set to visit Sri Lanka this week to press for justice for his constituent, KhuramShaikh, who was murdered while on holiday in Sri Lanka in 2011.

The British High Commission said that, the MP will be accompanied by Khuram’s brother, NasirShaikh, who has been campaigning for Khuram’s killers to be brought to justice. Both of them are to meet with the Government to share their concerns at a lack of progress with the investigation, it added.

British National Shaikh was killed in Tangalle in December 2011.

Oh my goodness, these guys couldn't give any justice to Iraq people - one million killed three million displaced on bogus pretence of WMD. Get a life mate. Even his backyard IRA is asking justice from these idiots for a long long time regarding the Britsh police brutality..

Glad.......at least these low class politicians will be brought into books by external forces......they cannot get away...You can run but you can't hide.

They will probably be arrested on entry in to the country, for trying to smuggle arms or drugs or something, as well as an international conspiracy to try and topple the government. Welcome to the 'Wonder of Asia'.

This is not relevant to war crimes. your opinion is only valid for war crimes not for brutal murder of tourists.

Seems any push for application of the law and holding criminals to account, particularly when they're politicians, is described as 'international conspiracy'. What a traffic state of affairs in an otherwise potentially great country via DM Android App

Life sentence be awarded to all perpetrators of the muder & rape. Justice must be upheld at any cost.
