COLOMBO (Reuters) - Dozens of Sri Lankan nationalists on Thursday protested against a three-day visit by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, demanding he leave the island and stop an investigation into alleged abuses at the end of the civil war.

Ban is in Colombo to assess Sri Lanka's efforts to address post war reconciliation.
