One suspect had been arrested by the Colombo Crime Division (CCD) today in connection with the incident in Mount Lavinia on Tuesday in which a group of protesters allegedly harassed the group of 31 Myanmar refugees, Police Spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara said.

He said that the suspect who is a resident of Moratuwa had been identified as Weerasekarage Deshantha Chamiruwan Rodrigo.

“The suspect was arrested on charges of obstructing the duties of the Police, acting in an unruly manner,” SP Gunasekara said. (Darshana Sanjeewa)

Yes, lets see if the law applies to the monks as well or if they are above the law.

These unruly people and all people including monks who instigated them should be arrested and treated them according to the law. They wanted nothing but unrest in the country with ulterior motives.

SPONSORSHIP FOR THE EVENT Friday, 29 September 2017 08:04 PM

The third degree will reveal who was the sponsor for this "innocent" man to be involved. Revealed or not the sponsors will go scot free in this wonder of Asia

Easy to identify most of those from the videos and then arrest everyone. Why cannot the police pursue that line?

This action will decide whether the president will get the Noble Peace Prize or Noble Piece Prize. The real instigators behind this attack are those in yellow robe.

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH ? Saturday, 30 September 2017 05:46 PM

Ruwan Gunasekara do you believe that we (the general public) are under the impression that your Police Farce (sorry for the wrong spelling !) has made a major breakthrough.? (by this great arrest of a single person) - far from it my dear - Knowing very well previous actions by your team (on similar hate crimes) - can we accept arrests of the other major players ? - I don't think so.

What a shame, only one person? What about the Buddhist Monks who lead the protest? Is the Police so blind, and is the Minister Sagala so weak? There are enough video clips on internet for them to identify those who were involved.
