The Fort Magistrate yesterday (28) temporarily lifted the overseas travel ban imposed to former Minister Rohitha Abeygunawardena, based on a request made through his lawyers to fly to Italy to attend to an educational affair of his child and to fly to the United Kingdom for a business affair.
Accordingly, the former Minister was allowed to leave Sri Lanka from October 10 to November 20 at a bail of Rs. 01 million, as ordered Fort Magistrate Thilina Gamage.
An overseas travel ban was imposed to Abeygunawardena based on the allegations in connection with the May 09 assault on Galleface protesters.
