Slamming the President’s decision to appoint Mahinda Rajapaksa who once headed the much feared Rajapaksa regime, wife of missing journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda says all hopes of justice and truth have disappeared.
“We risked our lives to get on stages and call for a new change to get Sirisena appointed and defeat the Rajapaksa government,” she said adding that she along with other families of the missing believed at the time that justice will be delivered.
According to her, however, the President has now endangered their lives and is acting like a dictator. “The President we appointed has taken this decision unilaterally like a dictator and endangered our lives,” she said.
“Families of the missing are now wondering what will happen to them, the legal cases of their loved ones and if the perpetrators will be released” Sandhya added. She says the families are now living in fear after Rajapaksa’s appointment.
“As the people who appointed him, we ask the President to convene parliament and revert this decision made to ensure democracy and justice” she concluded.
