SL war crimes

COLOMBO: Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena said on Wednesday a local investigation into allegations of war crimes committed during the island’s separatist conflict would begin by June, vowing to prosecute anyone found guilty.
Sirisena said he welcomed any guidance from the UN Human Rights Council on setting up the probe, amid international pressure for the island to account for alleged atrocities committed during the war which ended in 2009.
