Excellent Decision. This is how the Drug dealers and sellers should be treated as. Sri Lankan govt can take UAE as a role model in adopting law when it comes to drugs....
This is the only way to end drug in Sri Lanka

Surely this is unfair.All of them should have been sent to prison as drug related crime is taken seriously by these countries. I can think of another country where such court rulings take place!!!
