Sinhala Ravaya Organisation Chairman Ven. Akmeemana Dayarathana Thera and 24 others yesterday appeared in Court on charges of staging a protest at the Kuragala archaeological site on April 4 despite a court order banning such protests.

The Balangoda Magistrate released them on a surety bail of Rs.250, 000 each.

Two of those noticed to appear in Court had failed to do so and as such warrants were issued for their arrests.

Meanwhile, the Balangoda Magistrate had in another case noticed Ven. Akmeemana Dayarathana Thera and 32 others to appear in Courts were released on a surety bail of Rs.250, 000 each yesterday.

They were asked to prove their right to the Kuragala archaeological site.

Muslim is the most brutal religion in the world, and now ISIS is all over the world, if we want a free nation, we need keep muslims away from ISIS, but even moderate muslims are drawn towards extremism in mosques

People have a right to voice their opinion. If you defy a court order you may be prosecuted. But under prevailing circumstances one could defend the allegations by being able to justify the course of action.

the right to the Kuragala archeological site is for all Sri Lankans, and it is a projection of the 2500 years plus heritage we had.

It is time that everyone respect the law and order in Sri Lanka. Without law and order, no country will develop than increase in corruption/murders/disaster for the public money/assets. If any one not respect the law and order. They should be taught good lessons. Law has no religion/cast/color/status/gender etc.

Mr. Ryan your comment is out of the topic and also note that you have to be a perfect man to point other. via DM Android App

LAW IS TO ALL. I agree. but it does appear to be applying to Muslims who vandalise Buddhist Archilogical sites. Hail Akmeemana Thero.
