Well done Sri Lanka, we should not leave room in this country for any criminals, murderers and thugs to hide behinds authority and commit humanitarian crimes. After independence, this is the only act that keeps to Buddhist principles that has been passed in parliament.

The people who sacrificed everything on behalf of sovereignty of motherland become in vain.

How can USA UK pass laws for other countries - let Iraq Afghanistan and Libya do that.

Chandima Thursday, 11 August 2016 08:56 PM

Max, you wouldn't say that if you had kin gone missing and you didn't know where to go for redress. Shame on you!

OMP is not only to trace the people went missing in the war-torn area but of the soldiers who had gone missing during the war.So it would benefit both North

Dee Thursday, 11 August 2016 05:50 PM

So making anyone who opposes those in power 'go missing' is a patriotic act?

BuffaloaCitizen Thursday, 11 August 2016 05:03 PM

Not at all, this is a righteous and lawful. It is only murderers, criminals and their supporters who do not like this bill.

BuffaloaCitizen Thursday, 11 August 2016 05:02 PM

Any country in the world should not be a haven for murderers and criminals.

Priyantha Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:52 PM

No right thinking Lankan would consider this surreptitious move a definitive stand for law or order.

Thank God they took a definitive step towards maintaining law and order.

A black day for the country. One of the most betrayed acts in the history of Sri Lanka. Sad. Are we that ungrateful as a nation?

sobers Thursday, 11 August 2016 04:04 PM

Nothing to worry. Until proved everyone in innocent. These are good for democracy. Joint Opposition has become a joke.
