A Sri Lankan Citizen<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Its 3rd<\/sup> December 2019 exactly 8 days since a Sri Lankan National is being kept inside your embassy compound and we want to know why. We do not buy your stories that she is refusing to make a statement which later was turned into she is too ill to make a statement. We are not buying any of the stories you claim she said either. We want her out of that embassy and shown to our doctors but most of all she must return to her family. Your embassy is denying her fundamental right of freedom. Where is that Sri Lanka Human Rights head, why is she not demanding the embassy release our national?<\/p>\n

Every bit of news since 25th<\/sup> November has been what the Swiss media, the international media & the Swiss embassy is claiming.<\/p>\n

NOTHING has been said by our Sri Lankan National.<\/p>\n

How do we know what the Swiss embassy is telling is the truth?<\/p>\n

What if they have done some mischief to her?<\/p>\n

Is she safe, is she really ill, is she really inside the embassy, is she alive are some of the questions now entering our minds.<\/p>\n

If the embassy does not wish to show her, the embassy must at least release a voice recording of hers to show the Sri Lankan citizens and in particular her family that she is alive.<\/p>\n

We are very worried about our national.<\/p>\n

Why should the Swiss embassy keep her inside so long?<\/p>\n

Why should the Swiss embassy insist on transporting her and her family away?<\/p>\n

What is the Swiss embassy trying to hide?<\/p>\n

We have had enough of Swiss Embassy drama. Come clean on what you have done to our national. The entire local staff are now scared to even open their mouths. Is this the big freedom, human right that you people are boasting to the world about.<\/p>\n

Enough of your lies.<\/p>\n

Release her.<\/p>\n

Have you people scared her family too. Is that why they are not coming forward to ask her release? Is the Swiss Embassy holding this family to ransom? Is that why no family members or relations are even lodging a complaint that their family member is missing? Otherwise this woman\u2019s family must be wondering where the hell she is. What about her child, the child your embassy said she dropped, have you not thought of the agony this child must be going through not knowing what has happened to the mother?<\/p>\n

You wanted to pull off a stunt to embarrass the Govt but now the whole country is asking why your embassy is not releasing our Sri Lankan National. There are enough of abduction cases across the world, all of them lodge complaints with police and police investigate and try to find the culprit. So why is your embassy not cooperating if there was actually an abduction. We hope this is something not made up by you and that is why you cannot produce this woman whom you used to create a story. But how long can you keep a Sri Lankan National inside the embassy compound? \u00a0<\/p>\n

Release our Sri Lankan National whom your embassy is keeping as hostage.<\/p>\n

Time someone filed a fundamental rights case and lodged a complaint with the human rights commission against the Swiss embassy and lodged a complaint with the UN regarding this hostage taking situation.<\/p>\n
