UN sources said that instructions to work from home was issued to the UN  staff today after the group of protestors led by Minister Wimal  Weerawansa who gathered outside the UN office laid siege to the building  and prevented the UN staff from leaving the premises. However there was no indication for how long the UN staff would stay  away from their office although it is expected that a decision would be  taken following a review of the latest developments. Meanwhile when contacted, officials at the UN Headquarters in New York  said that New York was closely monitoring the situation in Colombo and  would take the matter up with the Sri Lankan government. “We are fully aware of what is happening in Colombo and are closely  monitoring the situation. We will raise the matter with the necessary  people,” the official said refusing to comment further. Meanwhile UN Associate spokesman Farhan Haq, speaking to reporters in  New York a short while ago said that the UN had registered its  strong objections with the Sri Lankan government over the protest  organised by Minister Wimal Weerawansa outside the UN office which  prevented UN staff from entering and leaving the premises.
