A protest against expert panel planned before UN Geneva head office

Expatriate Sinhala organizations have planned a protest campaign in front of the United Nations office in Geneva to protest the appointment of the panel of experts by the UN Secretary-General to advice him on Sri Lanka's accountability issues.



The protests are to be held tomorrow before the UN Geneva offices at 12 noon. Sri Lankans from UK, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, and other European countries are to travel to Switzerland to participate in the protest.
The protest is organized by a group called the Organization of Expatriate Sri Lankans to Safeguard the Sovereignty of Sri Lanka.
A spokesman of the organization says that certain elements attempt to disrupt the protest by sending emails saying the event was cancelled. He said the protest would be held tomorrow as scheduled.
