Al JazeeraMAY 2023
Political interference to protect military and political masters has long been the norm in Sri Lanka, a country that is ranked second in the world for unsolved enforced disappearance cases. Though UN experts have asked the government about the status of investigations into Rajapaksa and other suspects, no reply has been given so far. The lack of accountability must stop to build a future for Sri Lankans.
Hopefully, Gotabaya will eventually survive these disgusting character assassination attempts that his enemies have been plotting since before his ouster. While the former president is a military man known for being a harsh taskmaster, he is definitely neither autocratic nor a war criminal as shown by his calm, low-profile reaction to vandals attacking his official residence.
