A foreign ministry statement issued here said Sri Lanka had been made aware of the Open Judgement by the Commission on Wednesday.
It said the decision of the commission arose from an appeal filed in May 2019 by an LTTE front organisation challenging a decision of the British Secretary of State for Home Affairs. — PTI
