Colombo (LNW): Attorneys today (05) staged a protest outside the Aluth Kade Magistrate Court demanding an end to repressive laws.

Under the slogan “Withdraw Anti Terrorism Bill – Hands Off Democracy” the lawyers demanded the withdrawal of the Anti-Terrorism Bill and the Online Safety Bill and called for justice for the Mullaitivu Judge, who had resigned due to what he described as ‘death threats’.

The protesters urged that the democratic rights of the citizens of Sri Lanka be safeguarded.
