This is the guy who many years ago forcefully interrupted a CIMA examination, merely because it was being held on a Wesak day, and dashed the hopes of many youth by at least six months. He deserved every second of this sentence.

What a trauma might have had the students who sat for the exam. It was a Foreign exam may be they had paid again the exam fee.

Is it a sign of everyone is equal when it comes to law! May be our country is starting to treat everyone equally. Sign of a good democratic country!

Sl legal system is getting better and people will tend to respect now! Politically appointed judges must keep maintain this respect! There are several politicians need to be behind bars although they are enjoying Pin Padi from poor people! We must salute all when this is done!!

Either 4 years or 4 days up until receiving the Presidential Pardon? Oh....without his presence in public, Politics is no more interesting thing in Sri Lanka. That is why Ranil started playing with this guy under the US COMMAND.
