General Shavendra Silva should be held accountable for war crimes and gross human rights abuses committed while he was the Commander of the 58th Regiment of the Sri Lankan Army.
In the wake of this, British MP Bob Blackman has urged the country's foreign secretary to ban him from entering Britain, as the United States has done.
British parliamentarians are urging the Foreign Secretary to impose a 'Meknirsky'-style ban on Sri Lankan military commander General Shavendra Silva, who has been charged with credible evidence of involvement in war crimes and human rights abuses during Sri Lanka's final phase of the war.
Members of parliament are urging Britain's to impose sanctions on Sri Lankan military commander General Shavendra Silva, who has been accused of involvement in war crimes and human rights abuses during Sri Lanka's final phase of war.
General Shavendra Silva is the commander of the 58th Regiment of the Sri Lankan Army, which has been accused of carrying out shelling in 'war witch zones' where thousands of civilians took refuge during the war that ended in Sri Lanka in 2009.
In addition, the project for international truth and justice has submitted eyewitness accounts confirming the presence of Savantira Silva at the scene when hundreds of young men surrendered to the army during the final stages of the war. Many of them are missing.
The mothers of those who went missing have been fighting on the streets for years with their photos to find out what happened to them.
Until then, however, that question has not been answered. The US State Department imposed a travel ban on Shavendra Silva in 2020 to ensure he was held accountable for gross human rights abuses, including the extrajudicial killings committed by the 58th Brigade led by Shavendra Silva during the war.
In such a context He should not be allowed to enter Britain.
It is noteworthy that Blackman insisted that Shavendra Silva be held accountable for the gross human rights violations committed during his tenure as commander of the 58th Regiment and for the decisions he made during that time.
