AG decides to add reasons to note on releasing suspects
The Attorney General’s Department is to provide reasons for its decisions recommending the release of suspects arrested over various crimes.
Up until now, whenever it has recommended the release of arrested suspects, the Department has only been issuing letters stating, “Suspect can be released.” No reasons are being given on why the suspects are being released, since the AG’s Department is not bound to give reasons for its decision. Attorney General Parinda Ranasinghe, however, has taken the decision to outline reasons for releasing suspects following the controversy generated by his Department’s decision to recommend the release of suspects arrested over the abduction of slain Sunday Leader Editor Lasantha Wickrematunge’s driver.
Accordingly, the AG’s Department will henceforth provide reasons to the relevant parties who request to know why the suspects are being released.
The reasons will be based on the extracts given by a state counsel.
