MRs Secretary arrested, Namals Secretary arrested - but what about MR and Namal.Court bans Namal from participating in protest in Hambantota and he participates, going against this order. Others are being arrested for protesting but why is Namal still free?

The one thing I can say is the country has gone to dogs and has become a laughing stock

jaliya Tuesday, 10 October 2017 02:14 PM

"She was also barred from leaving the country" No need to do that .........we know we can spot a dark skin camel rider in Abu Dhabi.

gamini Tuesday, 10 October 2017 02:53 PM

so she did not spend even one hour behind bars.The release was faster than the arrest

sena Tuesday, 10 October 2017 03:25 PM

Release was faster because it was planned first

Sambo Tuesday, 10 October 2017 03:02 PM

She was released faster than arrested. What a joke this is in our country. Arrested then released..........

johan Tuesday, 10 October 2017 03:50 PM

We have more corrupt government ministers and MPs.How can they point finger on others. So other rogues have chances to escape from any judiciary

Rasheed Tuesday, 10 October 2017 04:04 PM

What a planned drama. FCID seeks interpol assistance to arrest her on 9/10, then arrived at BIA on 10/10, arrested then released on bail.

nazrey Tuesday, 10 October 2017 04:04 PM

I dont understand the justice system here. I now feel I should totally agree with, Ranjan Ramanayake. I wonder whether God can save a country where you have no justice.All these judges were appointed by the former Govt. and to look forward justice from them is a joke.
