There were few sri lankans , among the last inhabitants. I do not know how they arrived there or sri lankans inhabited the island from ancient times. In any event after declassification of official documents it was revealed UK govt lied to US specifically about the indigenous people in the island. In 2004 the highest court in uk the House of Lords held that the rights of the inhabitants were violated by British govt by making false statements to US. Do you know the reason for that, US provided missiles to UK at a hugely concessionary price at that time. The inhabitants still seeks justice, they were not adequately compensated, uprooted from the native land and planted in urban environment which they were not accustomed and they were not allowed to visit their native land. Over to UNHRC, what more evidence do you need. Certaintly there will not be a need for international investigation as the documents were declassified by US and they are admitted facts. So why not compensate them even now. Ms Navi Pillay can make floral tribute and visit the country, if allowed by US</p></blockquote><p></p>
