Leader of Britain’s Liberal Democrats Ed Davey has requested the United Kingdom (UK) government to work with its international partners to issue a warrant for the arrest of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
The request was made during the urgent debate that was held at the British Parliament yesterday on the state of Sri Lanka.
Ed Davey placed blame for the “horrible appalling situation for the people of Sri Lanka” on the “corruption of the Rajapaksa government”.
He called for an economic package with the IMF with the caveat that such support should include “a political package which includes an international arrest warrant for President Rajapaksa and his cronies”. (NewsWire)
