Declaring public emergency not the answer to present situation - BASL
April 2, 2022 11:49 pm
The Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) today voiced its objection to the state of emergency imposed.
Sri Lanka is currently under a state of public emergency, declared by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa last night and as of 6.00 p.m. this evening, under an island-wide curfew that will stay in effect until 6.00 a.m. on Monday.
In a statement, the BASL urged the President to immediately revoke the declaration of public emergency, saying that this is not the answer to the problems of the country.
