BY Pamodi WaravitaThe Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) has requested Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) Commander Air Marshal Sudarshana Pathirana to submit a report to the HRCSL by today (20) as to why HRCSL officers were not allowed to inspect the Mullaitivu Quarantine Centre (QC) on 13 July. However, the officers at the quarantine centre had not assisted Kanagaraj with the details required for the initial investigation. Although HRCSL Commissioner Dr. Nimal Karunasiri had informed the SLAF Commander about this incident, following which HRCSL officers had visited the Mullaitivu QC on 13 July again, the officers had been denied entry for the second time as well. “Not providing the due assistance to HRCSL investigations is a form of disrespect to the HRCSL and its officers,” the letter has noted. Section 11 of the HRCSL Act No.
