Jan 07, London: Amidst reports of election violence and anticipated voter intimidation at the January 08 Presidential election in Sri Lanka, the global human right group, Amnesty International has asked Sri Lankan authorities to ensure that people's right to political participation is respected.
"The growing harassment and violence against those campaigning in the coming elections is deeply troubling - the authorities have a responsibility to ensure that all people in Sri Lanka can exercise their rights to political participation and freedom of expression without facing threats or violence, and that on election day they can vote without fear," said David Griffiths, Amnesty International's Deputy Asia Pacific Director.
