HA! I got two paragraphs in and thought "this reads like an Ezra Levant rant". Sure enough.

His quoting of the UN High Commissioner is not totally in context. The U.N.'s take on Sri Lanka is that there are still a great number of challenges to face:

It is true that in the non-Tamil areas, things are improving and government services have been restored so you can't just say "I'm from Sri Lanka, I want to be a refugee". But if you are from the Tamil area, as the UN states, it's still chaos with no government services, it's unsafe for NGO's to visit, as the Amnesty link that I posted said journalists reporting from the area are being killed.
