The United Nations has closed its Colombo office as a result of what it calls unruly protests organized and led by a cabinet minister of the Government.

Farhan Haq, the spokesperson for the Secretary-General on Sri Lanka told BBC Sandeshaya that the Secretary-General finds it unacceptable that the Sri Lankan authorities have failed to prevent the disruption of the normal functioning of the United Nations offices in Colombo.

He also said that Ban Ki Moon has recalled the Resident Coordinator, Neil Buhne to New York for consultations.
