Prisoners too are harassed by the ‘sensitive leader’

SUNDAY, 14 DECEMBER 2014

We have been able to prove with evidence that prisoners are being used in Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa’s election campaign.

The following photographs show prisoners being deployed for a rally to be held at the bus stand at Akuressa. The prisoners are given blue coloured cloths and are used to do various tasks. Reports that come from various areas in the island indicate Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa has to violate election laws as his popularity is diminishing day by day and the organizers of his campaign find it difficult to get persons to volunteer to carry out various tasks needed for the campaign.

Persons in Prisons Department say Rajapaksa regime that savagely murdered 34 prisoners in Welikada Prison deploying prisoners in their campaign is deplorable.
