The Hon. Namal Rajapaksa, Attorney-at-Law

Hon. Namal Rajapaksa raised concerns about prisoners transferred to Sri Lanka from Kuwait and the Maldives under prisoner exchange arrangements, noting uncertainty over how their conviction periods and remission eligibility are calculated locally. He said some co-accused in the foreign jurisdictions have already been released, while the transferred prisoners in Sri Lanka continue to serve full terms, and asked the Minister to address the issue since it is not covered by the relevant Regulations.
