The Galle Additional Magistrate Gunaratne Kumara today ordered the police to arrest the 24 suspects identified by the Police as those involved in the attack on two prayer centers in Hikkaduwa

The Magistrate gave the order after the Police made submissions to court.

The Magistrate also ordered all media institutions to handover to the police the unedited video footage of the attack which damaged the two prayer centres to the Police.

A group of protestors including monks attacked two prayer centres belonging to an evangelical denomination last Sunday causing damage to the prayer centres in the presence of media and the Police. ( D.G Sugathapala)

    I wonder if these attackers are from the "Yaksha" tribe. They do not like any religion to rise in Sri Lanka, including Buddhism.
