SCOTLAND POLICE COMPLETES TRAINING OF SRI LANKA’S POLICE OFFICERS

Police Scotland ends training of Sri Lanka officers

Police Scotland has announced it is to end its training work with police in Sri Lanka, following concern over human rights abuses in the country.

The force’s long-standing involvement with law enforcement in Sri Lanka has been criticised by campaigners and was suspended last year.

Chief Constable Iain Livingstone has said it will not seek to renew the contract after it expires in March.

Scottish officers have worked with local police in Sri Lanka since 2010.
