Published:

Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga has issued a statement regarding the arrest of former President Ranil Wickremesinghe.

The statement states that the arrest of former President Ranil Wickremesinghe, at a time when the investigation is largely complete, raises serious concerns about the strength of the country’s basic democratic institutions.

It also states that the consequences of this pose a problem for the rights of society rather than the fate of an individual or any political group.

The former President further states that she strongly opposes these activities against political leaders.

Ms. Thalatha Athukorala made the relevant statement while participating in a special press conference held jointly by representatives of opposition political parties, based on the arrest and imprisonment of former President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
