He does not deserve such freedom. If he is entitled, then most of the prisoners also must be entitled.

He was given a four year sentence less than a month ago. How can he be released tomorrow?

Nimal, If you have not understood the VIP legal system in this country it is like a roundabout in a road. These VIP come via one gate and exit via the other - all in one sweep!

If the president release him under the special amnesty, the president will look like an educated idiot of a fool. Anyone who is expecting him to be released will be a moron of a damn fool.

Well he should not be released, after all he went in less than a month ago and was quickly admitted to the prison hospital for comfort.

Damn Good that he is not included. He must taste a bit of the medicine given. Let the Appeal Court deal with the matter

Are you joking? This guy was sent to the Prison only last month (and maybe still in the hospital). He should be kept away from the society as long as possible. He is not a monk, but a thug with robe serving Rsjapakse

You do not qualify under the One Law One country so wait for your turn and change the robes to a prisoner jump suit for 1460 days with adjustment for a leap year!!!!!!
