Former Minister MP Rishad Bathiudeen today connected via Skype technology to testify before the Presidential Commission probing Easter Sunday attacks.

MP Bathiudeen is currently in remand custody at the Magazine Prison, Welikada and he was unable to testify before the Commission in person due to the spreading COVID-19 in the country.

The Prison Official informed the Commission that two inmates next to the MP Bathiudeen's cell had tested positive for COVID-19 and there was risk of sending the witness to the Commission premises. (Yoshitha Perera)

He is paying the price for not supporting the Government. He should have followed Hisbullah.

Who said Hizbullah is not going to face the music if he is found guilty?

They will kill him and protagonist carefully spread virus inside of prisons. It is not only Rishad, many other targets could be gone - just like ash.

Be careful, they will arrest you for spreading false information. With the help of Interpol, lol

Last time court rejected his bail application based on Covid 19 risk. I hope this time he will get bail. Prision officers might help Rishad to apply bail based on commission acceptance. What a game????

Rishard's Human Rights and Constitutional Rights violated by the Commission forcing him to give evidence in Sinhala when he wanted to do it in Tamil.
