Sri Lanka discussed the charges made against the accused in Easter Sunday bombings and actions of pro-LTTE organizations on US soil with the US Department of Justice, Sri Lankan Embassy in Washington said today.
Ambassador Ravinatha Aryasinha had a virtual discussion with Dan Stigall, Deputy Chief of Staff & Counselor for International Affairs, Department of Justice (DoJ) and senior officials on February 17 to follow-up on the charges filed last month by the US District Court in Los Angeles against three Sri Lankans for "Conspiring to Provide Material Support to ISIS" in the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka in April 2019.
The Embassy said all three are currently in Sri Lanka's custody.
The Ambassador also called for closer monitoring of the pro-LTTE organizations operating in the US, who contrary to US laws, were glorifying terrorism and martyrdom, while propagating hate speech and disinformation, the Embassy said.
