Court says no AG assistance for investigations Featured

Colombo Fort magistrate Lanka Jayaratne says the attorney general is yet to assist in the investigations into the abduction and enforced disappearance of 11 Tamil youths from Colombo and suburbs during the previous regime.

She commended police for having carried out the probes properly.

But, no representative of the AG appeared at court today (02), despite her instruction at the previous hearing for him to be present in order to assist the investigations.

The magistrate ordered the court fiscal officer to issue notice on the AG to appear in court at the next hearing on August 30.

Three Navy personnel, arrested by the CID in connection with the case, have been given bail, BBC Sandeshaya reports.
