The United Nations in Sri Lanka has issued a statement regarding a fraudulent report falsely attributed to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) circulating online.

The deceptive document discusses electoral issues and is not endorsed or produced by any UN agency, it was revealed.

“It has come to our attention that a fraudulent report on the presidential elections in Sri Lanka, falsely attributed to UNHCR, is being circulated. This is a fabricated document and has no connection to UNHCR’s humanitarian mandate or our work in Sri Lanka,” the UN in Sri Lanka said. (Newswire)
