Sri Lankan government has refused to accept US court order

The Sri Lankan government has refused to accept summons issued by a US court against president Mahinda Rajapaksa, who is covered by the ‘Hague Service’ international agreement on heads of state, ‘Divaina’ reports.
The newspaper says the Sri Lankan Justice Ministry has intimated about the decision to the US authorities.
The accusation by LTTE leader Ramesh’s wife Vathsala Devi is about an alleged matter in Sri Lanka, which is beyond the jurisdiction of the US judiciary, said the government.
The government has added that the US summons was a violation of Sri Lanka’s sovereignty.
