A directive has been issued by the court against a ‘Satyagraha’ campaign and demonstration organised by the Unemployed Graduates’ Association from today (17) until March 21.
This order was issued by the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court No. 04, following a petition submitted under the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code, based on reports that this group plans to hold a sit-in and protest at the Polduwa Junction on the stated dates.
Accordingly, the participants of the campaign, including the following leaders, have been prohibited from protesting or engaging in unlawful acts during the ‘Satyagraha’ campaign in a way that disrupts traffic or causes inconvenience to the public:
• Dhammika Munasinghe – Joint Unemployed Graduates’ Association.
• Rasika Prasad – Southern Province Head of the Joint Unemployed Graduates’ Association.
• Sumith Ratnayake – Central Province Leader of the Joint Unemployed Graduates’ Association.
• S.M.L. Rangwala – Representative of the Joint Unemployed Graduates’ Association.
Additionally, it is forbidden to hold demonstrations that violate parliamentary privileges of MPs or interfere with the duties of public servants.
The court further instructed that all respondents and supporters ensure the protest is conducted peacefully without obstructing any individuals.
