Don’t use ICCPR to suppress opponents: Sajith tells government
Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa today urged the government not to suppress opponents by using the International Convention of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
“The ICCPR is meant to be used for safeguarding the rights of the people and to ensure democracy of a country. This is done through six basic activities under the ‘Rabat Plan of Action ‘ under the ICCPR,” he said during a meeting he had with a group of members from the Pivithuru Hela Urumaya at his office this morning.
