8 August 2015 07:49 am

United National Front for Good Governance (UNFGG) will set up a special court to hear cases on harassment of women, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe said today.

Addressing a meeting in Morawaka this morning, the Premier said this will be done to expedite the process of bringing culprits to book.

Mr. Wickremasinghe said a woman's rights Bill which provides provisions to set up National Woman's Rights Authority will also be enacted if UNFGG comes to power. (Yohan Perera)
