Sri Lanka opposition wants prison inquiry

SRI Lanka's opposition has demanded a thorough investigation into a prison shootout that killed 27 inmates.

Tissa Attanayake, a leader of the United National Party, said on Sunday violent clashes inside prisons have become frequent in Sri Lanka and demanded that their causes be examined.

The opposition says incidents like the one which occurred on Friday damage the country's reputation internationally.

Twenty-seven prisoners were killed after a clash when police commandos tried to search the Welikada Prison facility in Colombo for narcotics.

Officials said the bloodshed erupted when prisoners attacked the search team and armed themselves by breaking into the armory.

At least two suspects died following another prison revolt in June and human rights campaigners alleged they died after being beaten by guards.
