Udul treated shabbily - IUSF
The Inter-University Student Federation (IUSF) charged today that the IUSF Convener, Udul Premaratne who is currently detained at the Welikada prison is being treated far poorly than other prisoners convicted for more serious crimes.
IUSF Acting Spokesman, Sanjeewa Bandara who paid a visit to Premaratne said that he is only allowed half an hour to go out-doors and has been detained in a single person’s cell.
“Usually prisoners are detained together unless they are convicted for serious crimes such as murder. However Udul who has not done anything seriously wrong and who has played an important role in attempting to eliminate student suppression and continuously encouraged free education has been detained in this unacceptable manner,” Bandara said. (OJ)

Politics should have been banned long ago at universities, before the system produced unstable, greedy, self-serving politicians who have ruined the Country. Now it may a bit too late!

Ban politics in universities. Let students to study. Let students to work part time jobs with reasonable pay. If students are trying to fulfill cheap politician’s ambition, send them to Welikada. Do not expect respectable treatment in jail. What you sow that you reap.

Rukmal Azad Monday, 01 November 2010 03:49 PM
I am a former student of a mid level technical college which had a very good output in terms of job placement and overall student performance. The diploma thus awarded was well recognized and hence every student who gained admission was guaranteed of a decent job in the mid level capacity. However this JVP led IUSF somehow crept into the system and within a few years almost ruined this modest institution to ruins. I take my hat off to minister Dissanayake for taking the tough stance against these elements and hope all the leadership would be simply wiped out. Especially this Udul fellow who is more than 30 years of age and still in university – hope he will never see the outside of Welikada for a long while.

You go to a university for a purpose. If political science is a main subject there is no harm in learning it. But that doesn't give them the right to exercise the subject at will. Anyway once most students pass out from uni and feel the hardships of the real world, they alter their thinking. I think its best that they try to
understand what reality is and gear up to face this reality without wasting valuable time0 0

This newspaper, which reports such stories as this one, should do a fair report on the whole affair so that thinking people might make intelligent comments and ask probing questions. You are not likely to publish this comment because you too have your own political axes to grind. That's a shame, and that's why the transfer of information and misinformation in this country continue to make matters worse. You have a job to inform people of the whole affair of this or that: I think you are not doing your duty in a responsible manner.

This man is no longer a student since 2008. His studentship has been canceled my Peradeniya Dental Fac since 29th July 2008. He is just a paid employee by JVP.
I am wondering why ppl stil think him as a student. SB know this but he allowed him to do all notorious works. because Udul and IUSF's idiots' works is an advantage for the gov to use against JVP.3 18

Nothing strange because every national leader has been in prison some time or the other. The Uni students have a valid grouse because of invasion by the Foreignh Universities. The people in authority are trying to steamroll this. Thats the reason the students are taking to the streets.

Ramabalan Monday, 01 November 2010 10:53 AM
Politics in the unversities, colleges and schools should be banned at once. All crooks in the cover of students should be thrown out. Students and teachers with political links ahould be banned as well. Education is only to improve the knowledge and skill. It is not a stage for bankrupt and cheap politicians.

If he was allowed to stay at a common prison, he will try to rag the other prisoners like he rags poor students in hostels. The probabaly he might ended up getting killed by other murders there. So its safe to keep him alone.

Well said Fayad!! You cannot expect respect when you do not respect others. If you listen to him talking to students of other student groups you will think that this guy does not even deserve 30 minutes outside. Being a great talker he could gang up with fellow prisoners and cause mayham. Better to keep him isolated. But do not torture him.

This is not fair, just shabby treatment won't help, he should be treated appropriately. The best would be to hang him from his legs in the cell and hit him hard, in the hope that his brain will slowly go back to that big empty space in his head.
