    Section of UN staff leave office with police escort, others held back


    A section of the beseiged employees of the UN office in Colombo left the premises with police escort a short while ago.

    Witnessses said four foreigners were among the UN staff who drove out of the office in four vehicles with police escort.

    The protesters tried to prevent the UN staff from leaving but police intervened and took them away safely.

    More staff still remain in the building unable to leave.

    The movement of UN staff was blocked when Minister Wimal Weerawansa's National Freedom Front activists arrived there and instructed the police not to allow anyone to leave.

    Mr. Weerawans later called Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and told him to order the police to withdraw.

    Meanwhile NFF sources said they would remain in the tent outside the UN office and stage an all-night 'Thovil' ceremony to drive out evil spirits.

    The protesters were demanding that the UN drop its panel set up to probe alleged war crimes during the last stages of the war in May last year.

    Sri Lanka police abort attempt to free UN workers

    Protesters have resumed a blockade of the U.N. offices in Sri Lanka's capital after police abandoned their efforts to free workers trapped inside.

    Hundreds of protesters, led by the country's housing minister and Buddhist monks, laid siege to the building Tuesday demanding an end to U.N. investigations into alleged abuses committed during the country's civil war.

    Police moved in and began dismantling a stage that blocked a gate to the compound and escorting staff and their vehicles out.

    But forces withdrew after Housing Minister Wimal Weerawansa ordered them to stop. His supporters manhandled one officer. Some U.N. staff are still trapped inside the building.

    Hundreds of protesters, led by a government minister, laid siege to the U.N. compound in Colombo on Tuesday, refusing to let the workers out until the world body canceled its investigation of alleged abuses committed during Sri Lanka's civil war.

    Police tried to break up the protest in the evening and escorted some of the trapped workers out of the compound, but quickly pulled back after Housing Minister Wimal Weerawansa — who led the protest — ordered them to stop, leaving some U.N. staff trapped inside.
