Colombo, March 27 (Daily Mirror)- Former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella's daughter Chamithri Rambukwella lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) today claiming that her father's human rights have been violated due to his arbitrary arrest.

She told reporters outside the HRCSL that according to the legal principle of presumption of innocence, any person accused of any crime is considered innocent until proven guilty.

She said in normal practice, suspects are arrested only after concluding the investigations.

She said she hopes that the HRCSL will look into her complaint and mete out justice.

why not you speak about the human rights of people who lost their eye sight by using the substandard medicine brought by your father to earn money. Dont eat food brought by using such money as you too may go blind.

The peoples human rights have been violated because of inferior medicines being purchased and peoples lives have been lost due to these medicines and have left weeping spouses, children, parents whose pain is worse than even lifetime in jail. The rogues whatever their social and family background should be dealt with the most severe punishment as they want to enjoy life with corrupt money at the expense of poor people. God and society will never forgive this heinous crime. Shame on the families of the rogues

Oh. yes. Of course, people in this country have violated his rights. He never did. First of all, you must tell people how you got your position in foreign services. Then you have to disclose how you got your foreign assets. Then people may know what your father has done to poor people with his parasitic political behavior.Thugs and corrupted murderers have no place in the future world.

What about the human rights of those who have gone blind and those who lost their lives due to the very low quality drugs, said to have been imported under the guidance of your father? Some of these so called drugs were just coloured water.

Gamini Wednesday, 27 March 2024 04:23 PM

OMG human rights of a person who cared two hoots of the lives of the people when importing sub standard drugs

This person does not know the meaning and application of presumption of innocence. Not surprising though.

Peeping Tom claims his right to peep Wednesday, 27 March 2024 04:38 PM

Even after falling from window edge, he claimed that he has the peeping right into a ladies room. It runs in the family to be immune to their share of crime.

Yes innocent till proven guilty, but when there is overwhelming indications showing the involvement of an accused in an illegality, the Magistrate may have the accused remanded until further investigations are complete. This is because (a) if the accused is powerful she/he can tamper with remaining evidence and use various forms of influence (b) the accused may go missing knowing his / her imminent wrong doing. So baby girl, try to visit all those homes who lost their beloved ones due to your father's greediness and be glad you and your family are not one of them.

Her bank accounts should be checked

rubu fernando Wednesday, 27 March 2024 04:47 PM

Regrettably the law could not apply to your pariah father for he thought and operated above the law. Now the law has caught up with him dear. He needs to take his turn before a judge and await his fate for ALL what he did since entering politics.

How about the human rights of the patients

Low Less Wednesday, 27 March 2024 04:57 PM

Keheliya, Rohana Wijeweera, Velupillai Prabakaran, Putin, Tony Blair, the list of innocent people who have not yet been proven guilty is very high.

Now this, I would say, is the height of cheek.

Kandaih Balendran Wednesday, 27 March 2024 05:03 PM

What about the human rights of patients?

Nirmal Wednesday, 27 March 2024 05:24 PM

Oh no problem, a thief a looter, he must be hang to death, entire population will support the worthy course.

Siripala Wednesday, 27 March 2024 05:31 PM

HRCSL has to look in to the matter that who suffered due to beard man's misbehavior.

Nuwan Wednesday, 27 March 2024 05:57 PM

Seems like the stoppage of the inflow of commissions and black money is hurting this corrupt family.

Sumo Wednesday, 27 March 2024 06:43 PM

what about the human rights of people ouldhave, could have or affected because of the greed of this piece of human waste?

Kps Wednesday, 27 March 2024 07:14 PM

You got it wrong daughter, while the case is being investigated, in order avoid interfering and influencing the case with the witnesses as well as investigators suspects must be isolated from the general public. This is a world wide protocol. Not only for your Dad.

kumar Wednesday, 27 March 2024 07:31 PM

Based on reliable evidence, the court ordered Keheliya under arrest and remanded him. You ought to hire a lawyer to challenge the decision if you think the arrest was made arbitrarily. Taking the court to task by going to HRCSL seems a bit childish. As you also mentioned, the court should release all suspects, including underworld figures and notorious criminals, and carry out investigations if the suspects are only arrested after the investigations have been concluded.

Arbitrary arrest, my foot!!!

Karu Wednesday, 27 March 2024 07:45 PM

What about the human rights of the innocent patients who died or were blinded specifically because of your father`s misdeeds?

Upulpb Wednesday, 27 March 2024 08:38 PM

Is she aware that voting public in this country too have human rights?

Gabriella Wednesday, 27 March 2024 09:14 PM

We will exhume the dead bodies and ask the HRC to investigate the violation of their human rights.

Patients Wednesday, 27 March 2024 09:41 PM

Huh?? His Human rights violated??? What about the human lives of those whom your father played the fool with, you woman??? You are a disgrace to all womankind!! Your father deserves maximum punishment together with everyone else that were involved in this inhuman act!!!

Tissa Fernando Wednesday, 27 March 2024 11:09 PM

Wait until the election is over.

Be Fair Thursday, 28 March 2024 06:20 AM

The family should be very very fortunate, that none of the patients who were affected didn't go before the HRCSL. I believe HRCSL will act impartially and also educate the lady on the serious allegations her corrupt father

Anthony. R Thursday, 28 March 2024 04:35 PM

What about the human rights of all the patients, and all those who lost their eyesight ,and those who lost their lives,and those who have lost their loved ones,because of the inferior medicines brought by your father,who has made Millions of Rupees out of it. A mass murderer.

Gnanawathie Kalanpala Thursday, 28 March 2024 05:39 PM
