British Labour party Parliamentarian Simon Danczuk has expressed fears of a cover-up by the Sri Lankan Government after Red Cross worker Khuram Shaikh was murdered last Christmas. Speaking as the first anniversary of Khuram’s death approaches, he said he was worried the Government was trying to “quietly drop the case to protect a local politician”. Khuram was shot and stabbed on Christmas day in the resort of Tangelle after he tried to act as peacemaker to rescue a local restaurant owner who was being harassed by a group of drunks. But now, almost a year on, the eight have been released on bail, no charges brought and there is no trial in sight. The politicia…

The Canadian government has put forward a bill to make medically-assisted death available to people who are not terminally ill. The bill opens the door to allowing Canadians with degenerative illnesses like cerebral palsy to seek medically-assisted death. Health minister Patty Hajdu said the proposal would protect vulnerable people while giving Canadians autonomy. It was introduced in parliament on Monday and has cross-party support. The legislation was precipitated by a 2019 Quebec Superior Court decision that struck down the requirement for patients to prove their natural death was "reasonably foreseeable" in order to seek to terminate their life. …

And, in a development that will surprise no cynic anywhere, the Fed also noted that it "may keep adding temporary money to markets for longer than policy makers had expected in September." Specifically, this was another move to shore up and bail out the repo market, which has required the Fed's ongoing revival of quantitative easing (but don't call it that…

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS [size=3][size=5]The Sri Lankan government’s refusal to negotiate seriously with Tamil leaders or otherwise address legitimate Tamil and Muslim grievances is increasing ethnic tensions and damaging prospects for lasting peace. The administration, led by the Sri Lanka Freedom Party of Mahinda Rajapaksa, has refused to honour agreements with the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), broken promises to world leaders and not implemented constitutional provisions for minimal devolution of power to Tamil-speaking areas of the north and east. Militarisation and discriminatory economic development in Tamil and Muslim areas are breeding anger an…

The UK says it is unwilling to confirm that a former Sri Lankan rebel got into the UK after the Sri Lankan government gave him a passport with a false name. He was given the diplomatic passport in August, a newspaper in Sri Lanka has now revealed. Human rights groups have called on the UK government to prosecute him for human rights abuses. Colonel Karuna is one of the most controversial figures in Sri Lanka's protracted civil war. He split from the Tamil Tigers in 2004, forming a breakaway faction. He is later said to have collaborated with government forces and helped them to take control of territory in the east of the country. Earli…

Nepal to End Its Monarchy in a Deal With Ex-Rebels Published: December 24, 2007 KATMANDU, Nepal (Reuters) — Nepal’s government agreed Sunday to abolish the centuries-old monarchy in a political deal with Maoist former rebels, but the decision will go into effect only after next year’s elections, party officials said. Three months ago, the anti-monarchy Maoists, who ended their decade-long civil war last year, left the government. They were demanding an immediate declaration of a republic, a step that indefinitely delayed a constituent assembly election that had been set for November. That election, Nepal’s first national vote since 1999, was intended to…
