Seven get bail over Homagama court unrest case

News

Seven persons who were arrested and remanded for unruly behavior outside the Homagama Magistrate’s Court, have been granted bail by the court.

Five Buddhist monks and two women were produced before the court when the case was taken up today while Magistrate Ranga Dissanayake ordered that they each be released on a personal bail of Rs. 100,000.

The Magistrate ordered the monks to report at the Homagama police every Sundays until the case is resolved.
