The Civil Monitoring Commission (CMC), which is monitoring crimes like abductions, disappearances and extra judicial killings, has sought former President Chandrika Kumaratunga’s support to its cause in an international arena due to the country’s deteriorating law and order.

The commission met with former President Kumaratunga at her official residence in Colombo on Thursday and had handed over its latest report.

The commission’s delegation included its convener Mano Ganeshan and its senior member TNA Parliamentarian Suresh Premachandran.

At the meeting she admitted that during her regime too few incidents relating to human rights violations took place but this is the first time that human right violations were recognised as a national policy.

She said the government cannot run a country like thugs on the streets.

The CMC convener Mano Ganeshan told media that the Government should take swift action to stop the increasing human rights violations.

In its latest report PAFFREL has recorded 25 disappearances, 800 questionable arrests and 14 abductions during the period between June 1 and August 15 this year.
