CAMPAIGNERS have written to the Scottish government calling for transparency in Police Scotland’s involvement in training of forces in Sri Lanka implicated in human rights abuses.

Scotland’s Justice Secretary Keith Brown has been urged to publish full details of a review of Police Scotland training for Sri Lankan police and the government is being urged to end the programme. 

Human Rights Watch, Freedom from Torture, the Sri Lanka Campaign for Peace & Justice and Pax Christi Scotland said not doing so could risk appearing to endorse the actions of the country’s abusive police force.
