I cannot condone a  statement from anybody when they state they are going to resort to  violence. It is clearly wrong; no right thinking person is going to  defend it or justify it,” he said.        However he said it was wrong  for the international community to interpret one statement of violence  as the official position of the government of Sri Lanka.      On the issues of Human Rights Activists who had been threatened while  in Geneva Minister Pieris said that members of the delegation reacted  emotively due to the unfair accusations made by the activists.       On Friday Public Relations Minister Mervyn Silva said he would break  the limbs of some journalists, who had gone abroad and made various  statements against the country, if they dared to set foot in the  country.DM</blockquote>
