The Keselwatte Police were denied an order to prevent the scheduled protest to be held urging the government to free former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka a short while ago.

Colombo Fort Magistrate Rashmi Singappuli had stated that the protesters have a right to protest and no order would be granted against that right. However the police were given the power to take action if a situation arises which disrupts peace and normalcy. (Farook Thajudeen)
