AI SUMMARY GENERATED ONLY FROM THIS ARTICLE'S TEXT.
Judges and lawyers including prominent lawyer J.C. Weliamuna who opposed the impeachment of Dr. Shirani Bandaranayake are facing imminent life threatening attacks, the United National Party (UNP) alleged today.
UNP Matara District MP Mangala Samaraweera told a news conference that an underworld figure known as Dolphin Chandana alias Watte Chandana who was serving a jail term had been released to carry out the attack on Mr. Weliamuna.
He said this attack is to be carried out in the form of a road accident.
Mr. Samaraweera said some police officers were also involved in the plot and that the UNP would keep an eye on them.
He said the international community should also keep an eye on Sri Lankan especially with regard to the security of former Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake. (Yohan Perera)

The UNP always talks big but does very little. Why cannot the party provide protection to the threatened judges and lawyers. In fact they must if they have a semblance of responsibility to protect the judiciary as well as democracy in this country. Do not think that you have done your part by issuing mere statements.

No one is going to trust , even if he is telling the truth; his party strongman Tissa too confirmed this . He is a used condom and UNP need to get rid of him from media if it has any sense.,

It is ineffective propaganda. Your tricks are well known and very well countered. That's why the opposition is bowled out.
