Mervyn Silva: Police investigating

[lkdood]

A Sri Lankan cabinet minister has threatened violence against journalists and human rights activists who he says have been opposing the government.

Mervyn Silva also admitted forcing a journalist to flee two years ago.

Poddala Jayantha, who fled the country in late 2009 after being severely beaten up.

"I'm the one who chased Poddala Jayantha out of this country. I am telling you about this incident today. He went because of me," Mervyn Silva said.

The remarks come one day after the UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution critical of the country's rights record.

Police spokesman, Ajith Rohana, told the BBC that Mr Silva's remarks - both his confession and his threats, as he put it - would now be investigated.

To make Mahinda Fall... people need to attack Gota and Mervyn Silva Its like a structure... take out the main pillars... the rest will fall naturally.

Mervyn Silva doesn't realize the danger he is putting himself into. He might end Mahinda's government along with him.
