JVP takes to the streets against abusing judicial independence

TUESDAY, 09 OCTOBER 2012

The agitation organized by the JVP under the theme ‘Condemn the blatant attack on the Judiciary’ was held yesterday (8th) opposite Fort Railway Station in Colombo.

The protesters condemned the attack on the Secretary to the Judiciary Service Commission Manjula Tillekeratne and demanded the government to bring the perpetrators before the law.

Speaking to the media the General Secretary of the JVP Tilvin Silva said by carrying out the attack the Judiciary has been humiliated and it exposes the interference carried out by the executive and the legislature on the judiciary. Mr. Silva said people in the country should rise against such undemocratic moves adding that the JVP was prepared to give leadership to such a movement.
