President directly interfered with the independent courts ? His interview stirs up a hornet’s nest !

(Lanka-e-News -23.Oct.2016, 5.00PM)  foreign Diplomatic mission which evinces tremendous interest in the affairs of the good governance in Sri Lanka , and in the best interests of the county has commenced the translation into English yesterday itself of the interview in Sinhala of the president with  Sunday Lanka Deepa newspaper , according to reports on diplomatic affairs reaching   Lanka e news .

This is because those foreign countries are of the opinion  the live interview of the president with Lankadeepa is  an extension of his recent speech going by the newspaper report of his Sinhala  interview. Because the   president has directly interfered with several cases that are before the courts , the foreign countries are reckoning that as intense pressures mounted on the independent judiciary. 

The speech of the president and his newspaper interview are a direct interference with the following cases:

His state minister Fowzie ‘s issues before court

The case before court against retired  Navy Commander and 

the murder  of journalist Prageeth Ekneliyagoda, which had drawn international focus, and the pressures mounted on courts on behalf of  the murderers .  

These interferences have earned the bitter displeasure of the foreign community.

The president pointed out  , those were the faults of the investigators , despite  the glaring truth staring fiercely in his face that   those were not due to actions taken by the investigators , and  those were mainly based on  court directives.
