The Government
of Sri Lanka condemns the systematic killing of citizens
holding political views contrary to the LTTE; the
most recent being in Colombo today.
Political negotiations,
whether for an interim authority or a lasting solution
of the core issues in our conflict, require good faith
participation by parties committed to the democratic
process, human rights and the Oslo principles of December
5th, 2002.
The continued use
of violence to eliminate dissent does not inspire
the confidence of the people of the North and East
or of the international community, in those who propose
to assume the responsible governance of the North
and the East through a sharing of power in a democratic
and united Sri Lanka.
