An interim order has been issued by the Colombo Magistrate’s Court barring any protests being held within the day (27), for or against the functioning of SAITM.
Upon analyzing a report presented the police stating that the protests organized will be carried out in a way that will disrupt the unity that exists within the area looked over by the Cinnamon Gardens Police Department, the Colombo Magistrate’s Court passed an order banning any protests within the day.
The report put forward by the Crimes division, stating that the protestors including individuals from students union of the University of Performing Arts, GMOA (Government Medical Officers Association) and the Inter University Bihikshun’s Union would have acted in a way that would have caused conflict to arise in the area.
