Protest against AG’s recommendation on Lasantha’s murder
A protest is to take place opposite the Attorney General’s Department tomorrow (Jan. 06) at 12 noon.
Organised by the Young Journalists’ Association, the protest is against recommendations to release suspects in the Lasantha Wickrematunge murder case.
In a letter dated 27 January 2025, now public, the Attorney General’s Department informed the Director of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) that legal proceedings would not continue against Army Intelligence Officer Premananda Udalagama, former Mt. Lavinia Crimes OIC SI Tissasiri Sugathapala, and former DIG Prasanna Nanayakkara.
The decision has sparked sharp criticism, especially from media rights activists and civil society groups.
