Sri Lanka Muslims rally to protest Western intervention in country's affairs

The Muslim community of Sri Lanka has come strongly to voice their opposition to a resolution submitted by the United States to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Muslims in the country Friday held prayers in mosques throughout the country to invoke blessings to strengthen the country to defeat western powers and held demonstrations after weekly Jumma prayers to protest the West's support to pro-LTTE movements.

The Muslims, although a minority of about 8 percent of Sri Lanka's population have been vociferous against the US-sponsored resolution against Sri Lanka.

Thousands of Muslims Thursday participated in a demonstration organized by the National Organization for Protecting the Country to hand over a memorandum to several western embassies including those of United States, Britain and Germany.

The memorandum condemned US-sponsored resolution against Sri Lanka and called for the UNHRC to abandon the resolution asking for the Western countries to "desist from interfering in Sri Lanka's internal affairs".

The Sri Lanka Muslim Brotherhood and several other Muslim groups asked the Arab and African nations to support Sri Lanka to defeat the resolution and called the western powers to leave Sri Lanka alone.

The resolution to be debated next week calls for the Sri Lankan government to expeditiously implement the recommendations made by the domestic body, Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC), in its report released in November last year and investigate the war crime allegations which according to the US are not adequately addressed in the LLRC report.

Sri Lanka has vehemently objected to a resolution submitted by the US to the UN Human Rights Council calling the resolution as an impediment to the reconciliation in the country.

Political analysts are of agreement with the government that the resolution is damaging to the reconciliation process. They say the resolution is polarizing the country as evident by the recent protests where the Muslim community has joined with the majority Sinhalese calling the member states to help Sri Lanka to defeat the resolution while the major Tamil Party is requesting the UNHRC to pass the resolution.
