Journalist Ruwan Weerakoon who was arrested with some supporters of retired General Sarath Fonseka for allegedly conspiring against the government was released on bail by the Colombo Chief Magistrate Champa Janaki Rajaratna today on the direction of the Attorney General.
However the passport of the suspect was retained by the court and he was restrained from leaving the country.
He was further ordered to appear before the CID every Sunday mornings. (TFT)

So another victim is released. WHY NOT RELEASE SF TO MARK FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF WAR VICTORY

Yea, the iron clutch is surely and steadily slipping. One cannot go on arresting people without charges and hope to hold them in jails.

Ah but that is if they play by the rules. Wait and see another year & then no arrest even - may be Ekneligoda style.

The sad story (in fact funny) of our Govt is that all who support the opposition are considered either not patriotic or conspiring against the Govt.

This is a funny decision. Attorney General giving directions to the Magistrate. In 1990 I believe, the power to grant bail was taken away from the AG's powers. It is surprising that they are still having that power. Bail would have been granted long ago if the courts were independent.

What a joke Sri Lankan democracy has become...MR doesn't want anyone around to criticize him

True , AG should not get involved in giving directions to Magistrates but who knows what more is in store now that the AG's Department is directly under the President himself. Very funny Law and Order in this country.

He is the cause for many problems for the Army and other security related matters. The critics who support him should carefully investigate what he has done.
