At least 40 high profile criminals including Kanjipani Imran, Wele Suda, Kosgoda Tharaka and Podi Lassi who are detained at the Boosa Prison, Galle launched a hunger strike this morning.

Prison Spokesman Chandana Ekanayake said the inmates were protesting against the restriction on visitors and removal of telephone facilities.

The prisoners also protested against the search operations carried out on the inmates when they were brought to the Prison after being produced in the courts and to increase the weekly amount that they can pay to purchase additional foods.

Currently, the inmates are allowed to obtain additional meals worth up to Rs. 2,000 weekly.(Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

If you do the crime, you do the time! Stop complaining! Go ahead and starve; you're not exactly contributing to society anyway!
