The European Union (EU) has told Sri Lanka that it must amend a controversial anti-terror law that gives police sweeping powers to arrest suspects without trial to retain a lucrative trade status with the 27-member economic bloc.
The issue was discussed during the visit of a team of senior EU officials to the island nation.
During the visit, the EU monitoring mission reviewed Sri Lanka’s progress in implementing 27 international conventions applicable under the Generalised Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+), a favourable trade scheme to encourage developing nations to respect human rights.
