Court lifts injunction on ‘Silence in the Courts’

( October 21, 2016, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Colombo District Court today lifted the injunction order placed on Prasanna Vithanage’s film ‘Usaviya Nihandai’ (Silence in the Courts).

The order was first issued on October 5 after a lawsuit was filed by former District Judge Lenin Ratnayake, who alleged that the film was based on false facts and would cause damage to his character as well as to the entire judiciary.
