''Human rights, which are accepted around the world as the first symbol of democracy, do not exist in our country. Today you are hearing of incidents of murder and various forms of abuse.

''This has been initiated by our own leaders. If they are close to the rulers of the country, then they can commit any crime, even a mass killing, and they will be protected by the law,'' stated the Leader of the Democratic Party, Sarath Fonseka.
