SL protests against screening of Channel-4 film



 Lanka has protested against allowing a Channel-4 documentary titled ‘No fire Zone: The killing fields of Sri Lanka’ to be screened on the sideline of the human rights meeting in Geneva.

Sri Lankan ambassador to the UN in Geneva Ravinatha Aryasinha in a letter to the head of the UNHRC stated that the documentary “contains a narrative that is "discredited, uncorroborated and unsubstantiated.”

He also stated that “the global body could be violating its own rules if the film is screened Friday in Geneva at a meeting hosted by rights groups.”
