Court wants evidence over protest

25 February 2010 06:15 am

The Colombo court today ordered the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) to provide adequate evidence against a group of suspects who were arrested and who are now out on bail over a clash between protestors and riot police in Hulsdorf recently.

The judge told the CCD if they failed to provide evidence against the suspects who are on bail they should be released. The suspects were arrested when they protested and assaulted the riot police while calling for the release of General Sarath Fonseka outside the court complex. (TFT)
