National Freedom Front (NFF) Leader Wimal Weerawansa’s supporter who obstructed court proceedings when the MP was re-remanded on January 24, was imposed a one and half year imprisonment suspended for seven years by Colombo Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne today.
The Police today filed a charge sheet against the suspect on two counts for obstructing a public servant and defaming the judiciary under contempt of court.
However, the suspect Sudesh Premalal had pleaded guilty to the charges.
The Magistrate imposed a one and half year imprisonment against the suspect, six years normal imprisonment for the first charge and one year grievous imprisonment for the second offence suspending them for seven years.
The Magistrate also imposed a fine of Rs. 1,000 for the first charge. (Shehan Chamika Silva)

Contempt of court is serious and the magistrate should not have swayed due to political pressure and suspend such sentences in this manner. Whoever the audience or crowd need to bow down to the verdict of an independent court of law.

He deserves this treatment. Next in line is foul mouth Gammanpilla. Sooner he is taken in the better it is.
