Sri Lanka must hold an independent probe into possible human rights violations during its civil war, Britain said yesterday amidst President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s visit to the country.

Britain believes Colombo “must develop a credible and independent process to look into reports of possible violations of international humanitarian law by both sides during the conflict in Sri Lanka,” a Foreign Office spokeswoman said.

She added: “We have made this clear to the government of Sri Lanka, most recently when the Foreign Secretary met the Sri Lankan foreign minister in October.”

Sri Lanka foreign minister G. L Peiris dismissed the calls for an investigation during a news conference in London on Thursday.

UK don't throw stones while living in glass houses. I still remeber how an innocent guy was shooted by UK police. Wasn't it a human rights violation?

At the same time they should have arrested and commenced investigations against any human rights violators with out allowing them to escape.
