Sumanthiran: Arrest of Ranil Ill-Advised

Date:

Top constitutional lawyer, former parliamentarian, and ITAK General Secretary M.A. Sumanthiran PC stated that while heads of state must indeed be held accountable and prosecuted for very serious crimes committed during their tenure, the arrest of former President Ranil Wickremesinghe on a Friday, coupled with the decision to oppose bail, appeared ill-advised.

Sumanthiran emphasized that no one is above the law. However, he pointed out that the timing of the arrest and the insistence on refusing bail for the alleged offence disclosed in court raised serious questions.
