The arrest warrant issued on Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) General Secretary Ven. Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thera, who surrendered to the Court this morning, was recalled by the Colombo Fort Magistrate.

Subsequently, Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne released the Thera on previous bail conditions.

Two cases were filed against the Thera in the Magistrate’s Court for allegedly defaming the Quran and assaulting the organizers of the Jathika Bala Sena media conference held in 2014.

The next hearing of the cases was fixed for August 02. (Yoshitha Perera)

    This what foreign countries wanted. They have handed over a agenda to him to run. if he arrested "Lokka " will be in Interntional Criminal Court. - His approach suicidal. However, if Rishad Badudeen has done mistake in destroying the forest - its should be punished and its a idiotic and irresponsible act
