People have the right to criticize but not make threats to harm anyone. So even the so the facebook heroes who made threats should be investigated and booked even the ones living abroad when they visit.

You cannot threaten any body verbally or even by writing,it is a punishable offence.The expose the culprits and punish them.They need to apologize as well.

The Police and the CID should have looked into these vulgar and cruel verbal assaults on the President Elect long time ago. It is their duty. They waited all this while till someone complained. The CID should arrest them all irrespective of their positions and connections and the courts should punish them without bail. I believe these verbal vulgar assaults are committed by MRs supporters as MR is highly esteemed and praised against MS. CID we are watching you via DM Android App

Criticism is a good ingredient in democracy.We see criticism in the most vulgar and disgraceful manner even in some of our local sites. This should be prevented at any cost.

"It is not necessary for the Crown to prove that the person uttering the threat did so with the intent that it be conveyed to its intended recipient. Nor is it necessary to prove that the person making the threat intended to carry it out or was capable of doing so. The motive for making the threat is equally irrelevant" -

insulting is fine but i agree....threats have ro be dealt with....it will be handled swiftly in any other country. I saw some fool who cleans Toilets in Korea making blatant threats....the Government should have him arrested in Korea and deported to Sri Lanka to face criminal prosecution. via DM Android App
