No safeguard for Tamil detainees

Colombo extra justice Amila Ariyaratne says he has no forces to give safeguard to Tamil detainees captured under the PTA without exhortation by the lawyer general to do as such.

Safeguard was looked for 17 such detainees by their legal advisors today (28),

The TID said examinations have been finished and the reports sent to the AG, why should yet teach them on the following strategy.
The acting justice said he could discharge the detainees just if the AG encourages to do as such.





Legal advisors for the suspects said the administration has taken a political choice to discharge Tamil political detainees, BBC Sandeshaya reports.

The court further remanded the suspects until November 11, and requested the TID to illuminate the court about the AG's choice.
