mangala Samaraweera says "Defense Secretary responsible for custodial killings"
UNP parliamentarian and head of the Communications Division, Mangala Samaraweera has issued a statement following the double murder at a Marxist party rally in Hambantota.
He has stated that as with all other extra judicial killings, abductions, involuntary disappearances and killing of protesters, there is no reason to believe that there will be independent investigations and a proper judicial process initiated, in this double murder.
"Such is the efficiency of this Secretary to the Defense Ministry, who brags that crime in Sri Lanka has not increased as opposition politicians claim," he has observed.
He has noted that a Secretary who takes pride in being the almighty of defense and enforcement of law and order, having the police department too under his administration, is totally responsible for all custodial killings and the serious increase in sexual abuse of children and various other crimes in the country.
