Killing of British tourist: UK MP fears of cover-up by SL

Featured Replies

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 politician has been accepted back into the ruling party and there are growing concerns that the investigation is being dogged by “political interference”.


Adding that the eyes of the world would be on Sri Lanka next year, as they host the Commonwealth heads of Government summit, he said the Prime Minister should consider boycotting the meeting.

 

“David Cameron should think twice about attending this meeting while British nationals are being brutally murdered in Sri Lanka with local politicians implicated and their Government is not even prepared to investigate properly,” he said.


Calling on Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt to make more robust representations to the Sri Lankan Government at a lack of progress in the case, he said their counterparts needed to be reminded of how valuable British tourism is.

 

“Every year thousands of British tourists visit Sri Lanka,” he said, “and what happened to Khuram could happen to anyone. It’s not enough to keep building.


Simon Christopher Danczuk has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Rochdale since 2010.

Subject : Justice for Khuram Shaikh

 

Dear Mr. Danczuk,

 

Thank You for demanding justice for Mr.Khuram who was murdered in Sri Lanka. And thanks for not forgetting about him. 

 

Sri Lanka continues to hoodwink the international community while not respecting human rights. And You have correctly identified that Rt.Hon. Prime Minister should boycott the Commonwealth so that Sri Lanka can in fact realize the seriousness of the international community.

 

Please continue to fight for justice.

 

 

Sincerely,

Vice-Chancelor of Eastern University, Raveendranath, missing for six years, under the Rajapaksa regime. Will justice be ever done?
