The activists in unanimous voice urged the UN not to meddle and hinder in Sri Lanka's development and reconciliation at a time Sri Lanka is trying to rebuild after eliminating the three-decade long terrorism from the country.
The demonstrators also signed a petition, against the report of the UN's three-member Expert Panel chaired by Marzuki Darusman of Indonesia and the Britain's Channel 4 ,documentary to hand over to the UN .
They called on the human right organizations and western governments accusing the Sri Lankan government of violating human rights not to forget and turn a deaf ear to the atrocities committed by the Tamil Tiger terrorists on Buddhist monks, women and children and suicide attacks on sacred institutions in the country .
Well done ,great children of our motherland who protect her always chasing the barbaric LTTE away.
