Prisons Spokesman Gamini B Dissanayake said that the Prisons Department has informed the relevant authorities including the court that Duminda Silva is undergoing treatment at the Jayewardenepura Hospital.
He said the Department has requested Duminda Silva to be transferred to the Prisons Hospital. However, specialist doctor treating Duminda Silva had recommended that he should undergo treatment at that hospital despite the Department's request.
It was reported that the Prisons Department lack the specialist doctor to go beyond the recommendations of Duminda Silva's doctors.
In the wake of the Supreme Court suspending the presidential pardon granted to him, Duminda Silva was arrested by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) while he was receiving treatment at the Sri Jayewardenepura Hospital on June 1, 2022.
