Hands Off Judiciary! Lawyers from all corners unite (PHOTOS)

Date:

Colombo (LNW): Lawyers from all corners of the country today (09) united in front of the Hulftsdorp court complex in objection to the government’s move of interfering with the Judiciary.

It was noteworthy that lawyers from the North-East have also joined hands with the protest and raised their voice for democracy.

Demanding justice for Judge T. Saravanarajah, the former Mullaitivu District Judge who resigned due to being threatened with his life, independence of the Judiciary, and an end to the controversial Anti-Terrorism Bill, the Online Safety Bill and the Broadcasting Bill in the name of democracy were some of their slogans.

The protest was attended and endorsed by many lawyers from all over the country.
