Arrest warrant on Arjuna

17 January 2011 01:20 pm

A warrant to arrest Parliamentarian Arjuna Ranatunga was issued by the Galle Chief Magistrate Thamara Thennekone today for failing to appear before the court.

MP Ranatunga and a few others had been charged with destruction of public property, during the agitation and the protest demonstration held in Galle demanding the release of DNA leader, General Sarath Fonseka.

As he did not appear in courts, the warrants had been issued and his counsel informed court that he was unable to appear as he was not in Sri Lanka.
