Court denies Police’s request to issue order barring IUSF protests

Date:

The Court denied a request made by the Police to issue an order barring the protest to be held by the Inter-University Students Federation (IUSF) at the Parliament entrance and Poldumba Junction.

The request was made by the Welikada Police before Colombo Additional Magistrate Harshana Kekunawala in the justification that protests near the Parliament entrance could be obstructing the entry of ministers and MPs in a violation of their privileges, thereby urging the Court to issue an order barring the holding of such protests.

However, the Additional Magistrate denied the Police’s request and stated that the Police can act in accordance with their powers at any event of a disturbance in the area.
