විරෝධයේ නිරත භික්‍ෂූන් වහන්සේට අධිකරණ නියෝගය කියවා දෙයි

This story is no longer in the live feed. First reported .

Daily Mirror reports that Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama rejected a motion by Buddhist monks taking part in the Viharamahadevi Park satyagraha, seeking to challenge or vary an order directing protesters to leave. WhatNews (සිංහල) reports that the order was issued on the 22nd and that the magistrate declined to change it on the 23rd.

WhatNews (සිංහල) reports that action against the order could be dealt with under the Penal Code.

Rupavahini News reports that the protest sought the release of Bodu Bala Sena general secretary Galaboda Aththe Gnanasara. Newswire reports that the campaign had continued at the park for 10 days despite restrictions on the protesters.

Newswire reports that the Chief Prelates of the three Buddhist Chapters wrote to organisers that they would seek Gnanasara’s release through discussions with the government. According to Newswire, Ven. Ulapane Sumangala said the organisers decided to pause the campaign while those discussions continued. Sri Lanka Mirror also reports that the Mahanayake Theras of the three Buddhist Nikayas committed to intervene.

Newsfirst reports that protesters left the site on the night of the 25th. Ada Derana (සිංහල) reports that the campaign was halted and its structure dismantled; Newswire and Sri Lanka Mirror describe the suspension as temporary.
