The United States said on Friday that it would continue to be concerned about ongoing issues regarding restrictions on freedom of the press and expression, the erosion of the rule of law, and violence against religious minorities in Sri Lanka.Addressing the daily media briefing at the State Department, Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf said: “The U.S. has long urged the Government of Sri Lanka to fulfill its public commitments, to implement the recommendations of its own Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Committee report, and to develop credible justice mechanisms to address outstanding allegations concerning serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law.”
“We do also continue to be concerned about ongoing issues regarding restrictions on freedom of the press and expression, the erosion of the rule of law, and violence against religious minorities. And we also note with concern that human rights defenders have continued to face reprisals. Obviously, this is something that needs to end.”

Why don't you take much care about Iraq where you made a big mistake and create a chaos situation where more people are getting killed each day than Sadam era. That is you responsibility. It's better to engage there rather than poking to internal issues of Sri Lanka.

They wil never stop. Now they have put another Pillai in place to see the end. What they want is to change this to a pro western puppet government, until they achieve this the song will play and we have to dance, diaspora will applaud and reap the benefits.

The entire world is concern about US. They have given the freedom to their own citizens, but not to the rest of the world.
The drones they use in Afghanistan & Pakistan will they use the same in US? No
Why this double standard

Don't you have things to be concerned in your own country rather than being concerned about a country thousands miles away from you.

Suq Madique Sunday, 08 December 2013 10:42 AM
Maybe you can ask Assange and Snowden about harassment and abduction in the US?
