IN THE FACE OF JUSTICE MINSTER’S THREAT TO LAKSHAN DIAS, A COMMITTED HR LAWYER & HRD, WE STAND IN SOLIDARITY!




Sri Lanka Brief19/06/2017

Solidarity with Human Rights Defender and Attorney at Law Mr. Lakshan Dias.

We are appalled by the Minister of Justice’s attempts to intimidate Attorney-at-Law Mr. Lakshan Dias, with threats that steps would be taken in terms of the law to have him removed from the legal profession. We condemn this conduct of the Minister as an abuse of power, resulting in an individual being subject to public disrepute and hostility.
