Proceeding contribution from Robert Halfon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 February 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sri Lanka (Human Rights).


Sri Lanka (Human Rights)

I support everything that the hon. Lady is saying. Is she aware that in November 2011, the UN Committee Against Torture reported that the Sri Lankan military behaved as though they were above the law and noted threats and harassment against human rights workers, defence lawyers and journalists?
