The United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (SCFR) urged the Government of Sri Lanka to hold free and fair local government elections without further delay.

The SCFR said that any effort to trample the voice of the people of Sri Lanka is undeniably undemocratic and a direct violation of Sri Lankans’ rights.

The SCFR is a standing committee of the US Senate charged with leading foreign-policy legislation and debate in the Senate. (DSB)
