Colombo (LNW): The Court of Appeal today (24) issued an interim order barring the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID) from recording a statement from ex Attorney Genera, Dappula De Livera.

The interim order also bars the TID from arresting the former AG.

The order comes in following earlier reports that Livera was summoned to the TID on three separate occasions over a comment he had allegedly made on the 2019 Easter Sunday Massacre, but did not appear.

Livera had filed legal obligations pertaining to the TID’s summoning at the Court of Appeal, and the aforementioned interim order was made as they were taken up for consideration by Appeal Court Justices Nissanka Bandula Karunaratne and A. Marikkar today.
