DHAKA: Sri Lanka will not grant visas to United Nations investigators probing war crimes allegedly committed during the island’s decades-long separatist conflict.

‘We will not allow them into the country,’ said Rajapakse, who is under international pressure to cooperate with the UN-mandated investigation.
