The JVP today (9) filed a fundamental rights (FR) petition in the Supreme Court over the arrest of its members in Galle on August 12.

DNA parliamentarian and JVP Propaganda Secretary Vijitha Herath said the Galle police had assaulted two JVP MPs Ajith Kumara and himself and JVP Southern Provincial Councilor Nalin Hewage while they were in police custody at the Galle Police Station.
Herath last month lodged a complaint about the incident with the Inspector General of Police (IGP) at the Police Headquaters in Colombo calling for an impartial investigation into the incident.
The JVPers were arrested after they participated in a protest calling for the release of former Army Commander and DNA Leader Sarath Fonseka in Galle last month.

    Do not waste your time. Fundamental Rights and Human Rights were taken away by the 18th amendment to the constitution and you people go to the very place that approved the taking away of those rights to file a case.

    Every right to rule and ruin srilanka is handed over to Rajapaksa’s now. We have joined the bandwagen of myanmar, iran ,libya and sudan. Finally we would end up as ethiopia and somalia

      Tony, You are crying with every tear drop showing your frustration for the UNP.Just get over the party politics and you will be OK. The country si nowhere near where you place it. Be frustrated while you are staying put, your party is taking people like you ind a ride. They created this position and now they want to abolish it. Don’t trust what Ranil says!

    There is no democracy under this Raja balla .What youn have to do is to find a sucide bomber to distroy him and restore our democracy in the country.

  4. This is good for opposition. Like 1977 no any freedom. You all have work together & remove the opposition leader.
