Pillay says Sri Lanka turning authoritarian

  • 11 years ago
The UN's top human rights official says Sri Lanka is showing signs of heading in an authoritarian direction.

Navi Pillay has been in the country for a week to inspect former war zones and assess the human rights situation.

Pillay will brief the UN Human Rights Council on Sri Lanka's progress on human rights at its September session.

Al Jazeera's Minelle Fernandez reports from Colombo, Sri Lanka.
