SRI LANKA-US-RIGHTS-TAMILS
Sri Lankan lawyer and human rights activist Nimalka Fernando speaks during a press conference, denouncing an attack by pro-government activists on a meeting of NGO workers, in Colombo on August 12, 2014. The United States led Western criticism of Sri Lanka on August 5, 2014 after pro-government activists broke up a meeting of US diplomats and ethnic Tamils who lost loved ones in the island's separatist war. The US embassy said activists led by Buddhist monks stormed the meeting in a Catholic Church compound in Colombo on August 4 and "behaved threateningly towards the families". The embassy said police appeared to support the mob, which halted the meeting of foreign diplomats, including from the US, and families whose relatives went missing during the conflict that ended in 2009.
