(Lanka-e-News -13.Aug.2024, 10.20 pm) An investigation has been launched to determine whether Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe has any links to a notorious “ Phedopile” ring, a criminal network allegedly involved in the exploitation of underage children. Reports have surfaced suggesting that Wickremesinghe, along with several other individuals, may have played a role in these disturbing activities, raising serious concerns both domestically and internationally.
This is not the first time such allegations have emerged. During the presidency of Chandrika Kumaratunga, an inquiry into the “ Colombo -07 Phedopile” ring was initiated, but it was abruptly halted, reportedly due to political influence that shut down the investigation. The recent resurfacing of these allegations has intensified calls for a thorough and impartial probe.
According to the reports, Wickremesinghe may have been assisted by a close associate who allegedly facilitated the trafficking of underage children to fulfill the president's alleged sexual fantasies. Specific accusations point to the use of the Tangerine Hotel in Kalutara as one of the locations where these criminal activities purportedly took place.
Given the gravity of the allegations and the potential involvement of high-profile individuals, there is growing pressure for international investigators to lead the inquiry. Such involvement is seen as crucial to ensuring an unbiased investigation, free from the influence of those with the power to obstruct justice in Sri Lanka.
This investigation aims not only to establish the truth behind the allegations but also to ensure that those responsible for the exploitation of children are brought to justice. If proven, the crimes in question could span decades, affecting numerous victims who deserve legal protection and justice.
As the investigation unfolds, the international community is watching closely, awaiting evidence that could either substantiate or refute the claims against President Wickremesinghe and his alleged accomplices. The outcome of this inquiry could have profound implications for the political landscape of Sri Lanka and for the protection of children's rights within the country.
