The Court of Appeal today ordered the state to provide additional security for the former Director of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Senior Superintendent of Police Shani Abeysekara.
This was after a petition filed by Mr Abeysekara was considered.
Accordingly the Court ordered to provide additional security than the existing security arrangements and directed that the security arrangements be put in place within a months period.
Additional Solicitor General, President’s Counsel (PC) Rohantha Abeysuriya, who appeared on behalf of AG said that the relevant agencies will be informed to provide the additional security.
The order was given by Court of Appeal President Nissanka Bandula Karunaratne and Justice Vikum Kaluaarachchi.
Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today he wholly rejects the Batalanda Commission report and that it was appointed wholly with the intention slinging political mud at him.
Leader of the National People’s Party (NPP) and one time Propaganda Secretary of the JVP Wimal Weerawansa accused the Government of bringing back the “Batalanda Commission” for a media spectacle instead of a genuine concern for those who suffered during the 1988-1990 period.
