The Inter-University Student Federation filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission today in connection with the death of Ruhunu University student Susantha Bandara and the arrest of eight other students.

The Federation’s Convener, Udul Premaratne said they will take whatever measures necessary to see that the police hold an impartial investigation into Susantha’s death.

The police initially declared that the death was due to natural causes and later said that another university student was responsible for the death. Meanwhile the mother of the victim after her first statement later went on record stating that the police was responsible for the cause of her son’s death.

According to the student union the victim was assaulted at the Ruhunu University, Maddewatta hostel premises on July 18. Bandara was hospitalized at the Diyatalawa Hospital and then transferred to the Badulla Hospital where he passed away.

    General public also should complain to HRC for not having the freedom to go about on our daily chores due to number of protests held by the idiots of this IUSF. They are not only wasting our tax money, they also waste millions of public money by blocking roads, and holding the general public to ransom. Shame on them. Why cant the govt ban the IUSF? You go to university to study, not to do petty politics.

    The HRC in Sri Lanka is better known as "The guard of milk and thick friend of the cat (in power).

    buddhi Thursday, 29 July 2010 09:17 AM

    why still people consider Udul Premaratne as a student, he is a politician.

    RajasH Thursday, 29 July 2010 09:17 AM

    Not sure. The students may get a better hearing than the Tamils.

    Sanka Thursday, 29 July 2010 09:13 AM
