March 8, 2010 11:03 am
UNP Kekirawa organizer Chandima Gamage today filed a Fundamental Rights (FR) petition at the Supreme Court seeking an order to restrain the Police from what he claims was harassment during the run-up to the upcoming General elections.
He alleged that during the recently concluded Presidential Polls he was subject to such harassment when the Police arrested him for attempted murder and remanded him. He was subsequently released on bail, Gamage’s lawyers told court. Gamage fears such harassment during the run-up to the General Election and seeks SC intervention. The case will be taken up March 21.
