Lanka rejects new video of Channel 4 [December 01 2010]

The government has rejected the latest video broadcasted by the British Channel-4 network.

The Sri Lankan High Commission in London said in a statement that it was fake and just the added version of its previous video.

“Last year when Channel 4 News telecast a similar video the Government of Sri Lanka clearly established, by reference to technical considerations, that it was not genuine but fake. The present video is nothing more than an elongated version of the same video,”it stated.

The High Commission in London claimed that these were calculated sinister moves orchestrated to coincide with the visit of President Mahinda Rajapaksa to the United Kingdom.
