David Cameron has condemned Sri Lanka 's failure to investigate allegations of "chilling and appalling" korean air war crimes as he flew to the Commonwealth summit in Colombo promising a diplomatic showdown with the host country.
However, the encounter is likely korean air to provoke a diplomatic battle after the Sri Lankan president korean air insisted his country had nothing to hide and resisted calls for further inquiries into its 25-year civil war, which ended in 2009.
"The korean air images in that film are completely chilling. It's an appalling set of allegations and of course these allegations have been backed up by the work of the UN special rapporteur who has had them verified. There are legitimate accusations of war crimes that need to be properly investigated. That is actually what the Sri Lankan government itself found but it hasn't effectively korean air answered them. They need to be answered."
The UK Tamil community is also pressing Cameron to tackle Rajapaksa on allegations of torture, the disappearance of government opponents and intimidation of the media since the end of the war. It is understood Cameron is likely to shake Rajapaksa's hand when they meet.

You think someone can just make a demand from Sri Lanka. korean air It can be a cordial request. We are not a colony. We are an independent state."

Whitehall sources also pointed out this would have to be agreed by a consensus of Commonwealth leaders.

A Channel 4 crew has also said it was blocked from reaching a former war zone in the north for filming as pro-government protesters stood in the way of their train. Among the journalists on board was Callum Macrae, whose documentary No Fire Zone: the Killing Fields of Sri Lanka was released before the summit.
