Saliyawewa police assault : Justice still pending

 

Women’s organizations are demanding authorities to mete out justice for the pregnant woman who has reportedly been assaulted by Saliyawewa police in Puttalam.

Savistri, Kantha Shakthiya and other groups visited the assault victim at her home and inquired into her plight.

Padma Pushpakanthi of Savistri said no investigation had taken place into a complaint lodged around two months ago.

Rohini Weerasinghe of Kantha Shakthi said they would campaign both locally and internationally to seek justice for the woman.

Averages citizens without political or official powers have to endure such harassment on a daily basis, she said.

Attempts to reach the DIG in charge of Puttalam to obtain information were unsuccessful, reports BBC Sandeshaya.
