Lankanewsweb.netJan 07, 2016
Sri Lanka police have filed a fundamental rights petition against the human rights commission for the recommendation given by the commission for the police attack against the protest staged by the students of the higher national accounting diploma students.

 Last October 29th the police attacked the higher national diploma students who were on a protest march in front of the university grants commission demanding solution for their rights. The students who got assaulted by the police filed a complaint to the human rights commission. The human rights commission gave its recommendations accusing the police officers guilty for the crime.

The police in return have submitted a petition to the Supreme Court against the human rights commission to void the said recommendations.

DIG police headquarters Pradeep Namaldeniya has submitted this petition citing the chairman of the Sri Lanka Human Rights Commission Dr. Deepika Udugama and members of the commission as respondents.
