Seven persons including five monks and two women, who were remanded for acting in a violent manner outside the Homagama Magistrate’s Court on January 26, were released on bail by Homagama Magistrate Ranga Dissanayake today.

They were release on sureties of Rs. 100,000 each.

The incident occurred outside the Court premises when a large number of Buddhist monks and several youth protested against the Magistrate’s order to remand Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) General Secretary Ven. Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thera.

Magistrate ordered the Homagama Police on January 27 to arrest all individuals who behaved in the violent manner on charges of contempt of court.(Muditha Dayananda)

So far 48 Buddhist monks have been jailed according as latest news report under yahapalanaya. Most of them under instructions of Ranga D. But more than 48 rogues of former regime roam the street freely. Are we missing a subtle message here.
