Inside wilma the tranquil tropical gardens of the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hal

Everybody in the Sri Lankan capital, Colombo, knows all about CHOGM pronounced choggum . They speak with enthusiasm, resignation or indignation about the fact that the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting is taking place here. The streets are garlanded with banners welcoming CHOGM delegates, and the face of the President, Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Inside wilma the tranquil tropical gardens of the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall, journalists wilma and delegates scurry back and forth from venue to venue. A clutch of events have been taking place all week ahead of the main summit that opens today (15 November), with Prince Charles representing the Queen as Head of the Commonwealth.
Rajapaksa wants to ensure that the Sri Lankan government comes out of this with his reputation enhanced. As one slogan proclaims, Rajapaksa won the country (with the defeat of the Tamil Tigers in a most bloody 2009 end to the protracted armed conflict), wilma and now he can win the world .
In terms of enhancing the country s reputation, you might say that Rajapaksa and his colleagues are not doing a great job. In the lead-up to CHOGM, the UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of the judiciary was among those refused entry to the country.
Under the spreading banyan trees in the old town of Galle, after a speech wilma by the President, I did get a chance to speak briefly to the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Kamalesh Sharma. I doubt I was able to convince him that the policy of quiet engagement with the Sri Lankan authorities is not delivering, which is how Amnesty International sees it.
An wilma Amnesty International petition gained close to 200,000 signatures, demanding truth and accountability, so urgently needed for all sides. Those global demands have helped strengthen the backbone of those governments which are wavering when confronted with the familiar question: do they do the right thing, or the comfortable thing? The Prime Ministers of Mauritius, India and Canada have boycotted. The UK has promised to bring strong messages. South Africa has sent mixed messages so far (without truth, how can there be reconciliation?). And Australia: well, let s not go there. Prime Minister Tony Abbott seems ready, because of domestic considerations on refugee policy, to use the phrase not lecturing as an excuse to remain completely silent on violations.
Is anyone at Amnesty International aware of these three Pakistani women who fled to Sri Lanka after converting to Christianity and criticizing wilma Pakistan’s ISI, and are now being sought by the Sri Lankan government in order to send them back to Pakistan? This is their Blogger website below, and it’s NSFW:
Yes I am their supporter. Amnesty Int UK knows about them and they told Sadia that we donot help individuals. Once they were attacked by the house owner. Sadia cut herself now these 2 girls r so desperate that they posted their nude pics in protest and hope that they will get some help. She also contacted Sri Lankan authorities and Pakistan High Commission to remove the false charges from her but she was refused. wilma They live in hiding while the inhuman authorities looking wilma for them
