To commemorate Human Rights Day, falling today, Groundviews interviewed a number of leading activists in Sri Lanka to find out their perspectives on current challenges facing human rights in post-war Sri Lanka.
This is the first video in a series we will publish over the coming week.
After asking each of them to define human rights as they saw and understood it, Groundviews asked the activists to comment on the Sri Lankan State’s protection of human rights, the nexus between human rights and human dignity and opportunities for greater human rights protection over the coming years.
Featured in this video are:
- Deshamanya Bradman Weerakoon
- Dr. Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu
- J.C. Weliamuna
- Dr. Devanesan Nesiah
