Below is the detailed report.
Below is another post that included that information.
Based on the requests we received asking about the accuracy of this, we took steps to check the facts in this way.
Fact Check:
Although the Sri Lanka office of the United Nations Human Rights Council checked that a survey was conducted regarding the victory of the election aimed at the upcoming presidential election, no official information supporting the fact that such a survey was conducted was revealed.
Also, they had published a note on their official Facebook page stating that the above survey circulated on social media was not conducted by the Sri Lanka office of the United Nations Human Rights Council, and it was a completely false presentation.
Also, in the last presidential elections, was a survey like this conducted by any of the United Nations organizations in Sri Lanka? However, there is no acceptable official information that such a survey was conducted.
Also, the Sri Lankan branch of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees does not get to see any information about the recent projects, and the announcement of the Sri Lankan branch of the United Nations above also states that if you need any more information about this, contact your official office via email.
We also inquired with the United Nations Human Rights Council about this and we hope to update this article with their response.
