The United Nation Human Rights Office has condemned the release of former Parliamentarian and murder convict Duminda Silva under a presidential pardon.
“Presidential pardon of Duminda Silva, a former MP convicted of the murder of a fellow politician, is another example of selective, arbitrary granting of pardons that weakens rule of law and undermines accountability.” UN Human Rights Office tweeted.
Earlier The United States of America had also condemned the release of the former Parliamentarian.
