Does gazette making Covid vaccination compulsory violate human rights? (VIDEO)

Date:

The regulation for mandatory possession of the card verifying vaccination against Covid-19 after April 30, 2022 does not violate the fundamental right of freedom of movement in accordance with the Constitution, said former Chairman of the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) Prof. Prathibha Mahanamaheva, speaking to media today (05).

The freedom of movement secured by the Constitution is not subject to limitlessness for there are limitations to such a right, in view of public health, he noted.

Accordingly, the aforementioned gazette does not violate the fundamental rights of humans, in the event that it has been imposed for the safety of the public, he added.
