The Fort Magistrate has issued an order preventing 24 persons, including Duminda Nagamuwa, Mujibur Rahman and Hirunika Premachandra of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, and Parliamentarians Charitha Herath and Vasudeva Nanayakkara of the Freedom People's alliance, from entering certain areas and roads in Colombo till 6.00 pm today.
The Fort Police informed the Fort Magistrate that a group of protestors was planning to hold a protest march from the Fort Railway Station, which they said could cause inconvenience to the public and motorists.
Accordingly, the OIC of the Fort Police has requested the Magistrate to issue an order preventing the protest march.
The Magistrate ordered the protestors not to enter the President's Office, President's House, Finance Ministry premises, the Central Bank, Police Headquarters, Olcott Mawatha between Fort Railway Station and CTO Junction, Lotus Road from CTO Junction to NSA Roundabout, York Street, Bank Road, Chatham Street and Galle Face Green area and not to block the roads, thereby causing inconvenience to the public and motorists.

Courts helping draconian laws, without any mandate for the ruler?

Ranil's style of stifling public anger. This can boil into another major struggle which will bring in another period of uncertainty.

Big deal to prevent protests. Where is democracy when elected members are banned from entering specific areas?
Ram Monday, 28 August 2023 01:25 PM
Soon we will see our people disregarding these orders the same way the Finance Ministry disregarded the SC order to release fund for the PC elections. What is good for the Goose is good for the gander

We live in a democratic country. When Udaya Gamanpulle did a protest outside Ponnampalam's house there was no court order. Are we living in a banana republic?????.

Julie Chung where are you ? What happened to supporting free speech in SL ?
Desabandu Monday, 28 August 2023 02:29 PM
The ban imposed is only on the 24 persons named.So what is the problem in the others continuing with the march ?
D. James Devasagayam Monday, 28 August 2023 02:45 PM
Why only with the certain politicians this prevention order is issued? How about the others? Means, the rest are the Most disciplined group.

Who is to issue an order when the Police themselves cordon off roads with hundreds of personnel, water cannon trucks etc. Can protesters seek legal sanctions?

It is only 6 p.m. to prevent unnecessary traffic jams. Why can't these people hold their protests on week ends without inconveniencing the public? All they want is DRAMA!

People are now at the very end of losing their patience. Ranil is stifling all forms of agitations and protests in a very high handed manner, but he will not be able to do it much longer. People's power will rule supreme.

Why was the US mum on this issue when His Excellency Gotabaya had been in power they ordered to let the ARAGALAYALIST move forward.

Court prevented this group because of the dirty politicians plus Dictator Ranil's request. However, if any deduction is done
