The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, Attorney-at-Law
Dayasiri Jayasekara stated that his side had no intention of having anyone arrested and noted that they were not in government at the relevant time. He emphasized that the issue being raised was the Magistrate’s repeated orders to conclude investigations and to arrest and produce the suspects, which he said were contained in the document under discussion.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, I do not wish to give this again to suspects. The Hon. Member knows this case well. Another thing: we were not in Government then. We were not in Government at that time. I state very clearly: we have no desire to get anyone arrested. We are speaking about the fact that the Magistrate repeatedly ordered to conclude investigations and arrest and produce the suspects. Those two orders are in this document.
