Bimal vows to punish Ranil, even taking foreign assistance if necessary

Minister Bimal Rathnayake says that steps will be taken—through legal means and, if necessary, with international assistance—against those found responsible for the Batalanda torture camps, including former President Ranil Wickremesinghe

“We will conduct all possible investigations within the law to hold Ranil Wickremesinghe accountable for his actions and ensure that these murderers are punished, even if it is at the latter part of their lives,” he said.

The Minister made this statement while participating in the first day of the parliamentary debate on the Batalanda Commission Report.
