If I could, I would say one other thing on Bandula Jayasekara. On one level, his tweets are clearly libellous and demonstrably libellous. The idea that I'm funded by an organization I condemn as guilty of war crimes is absurd. That manner of speaking was extremely dangerous. I was not able to walk on the street in safety in Sri Lanka because of that kind of material, these kinds of lies, which are, in the context of Sri Lanka today, quite clear incitements to violence and incitements to hatred. I was considered to be partially responsible for the death threats that were made against me. On one level, one would sort of laugh off his comments because they're so absurd, but on another level they are actually quite dangerous and extremely irresponsible.
