JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva said that the government has to ensure the protection of human rights of the citizens of the country, so that the international community could not intervene any further.

Speaking at a press conference today, he said that there was still some confusion on hybrid court and international participation. Even though the government says that a hybrid court will not be established, it also says of obtaining international assistance. What the government should do is to introduce new laws and strengthen the judiciary. Sri Lanka already has a competent judiciary which can probe the past human rights violations, Silva said.

He pointed out that there were political prisoners still in the island. The question of the disappeared was also there. These questions should also be addressed, Silva said, pointing out that unnecessary delays to do so will pave way for further international involvement.

Silva also lashed out at the Rajapaksa government for not acting on the human rights issues when it should have. This paved way for the international community to interfere in Sri Lanka's matters, he said.
