Well, obviously, an investigation into these abuses is the number one demand now from organizations like us so that the victims of these abuses are able to have some measure of justice. At the same time, I think we are quite concerned about the current human rights situation and the way in which things have developed.
I think, in its relationship with Sri Lanka, that Canada could express concern over a number of these issues, such as the recent constitutional amendments that concentrate a lot of power with the president. One of our requests is that there should be a restoration of the previous constitutional provisions that would guarantee a separation of powers.
Secondly, it's also about ensuring a restoration of the ability of journalists, civil society,and other actors to freely express themselves and their commentary in the media and other places. One way is to ensure that there's accountability for the criminal attacks that have occurred on journalists, members of the political opposition, and so on.
Again, in a number of these cases where there has been quite clear evidence about who is responsible, we haven't seen any real progress in those prosecutions.
I think that raising these specific cases with the Government of Sri Lanka and inquiring about the progress in conducting criminal investigations would be a very helpful way of bringing these issues to the spotlight.
