Arrest Warrant requested
Campaigners apply for war crimes arrest warrant against Chagi Gallage, President Mahinda Rajapaksa's bodyguard
Lawyers acting for Tamil activists are in court this morning applying for a war crimes arrest warrant against a Sri Lankan general visiting Britain.
Campaigners hope to persuade magistrates at Horseferry Road court in central London that the officer in charge of security for the aborted tour by President Mahinda Rajapaksa should be detained.
The president had been due to speak at the Oxford Union debating society last night but the address was cancelled at short notice after the threat of mass protests by Tamils in the city.

Lawyers are going after Maj. Gen. Chagi Gallage because he was the commander of the 59th Division of the Sri Lankan Army during the war.
