Justice Minister Ali Sabry today in parliament responded to criticism over recent court verdicts of MP Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan Alias Pillayan and former President secretary Lalith Weerathunga.
Speaking about the bail given to MP Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan, Minister Ali Sabry said he was in prison for 5 years since 2015, based on a confession given by some person.
Justice minister further stated that Pillayan was released on bail based on the fact that it was proved in court that the confession was not made voluntarily and hence there was no evidence against him.
Mr. Ali Sabry requested those who criticize the judicial proceedings to investigate on these facts without misleading the society through unfair criticism.
