He was not arrested to give him time to plan out this whole drama. Police and others all connived.

Sri Lankan Judiciary please not you are also becoming a joke. In future you will NOT be taken seriously. You have PROVED BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT THAT YOU ARE CORRUPT. Now people will have to seek justice from outside the country. These DESPOTIC rulers have destroyed the judiciary and the country. Shame on you.

This Magistrate was stood down once over the unlicensed Elephant issue and came out well during the present regime.

The accusation is that Johnston instigated the people who attended Temple Trees. That is unpardonable and he should have been remanded like the other two MPs

How can a suspect with a warrant surrender at Magistrate's residence. Is that facility only for politicians. We the public cannot do that. I recall over a decade ago court sat on a Poya day to accommodate a suspect

Thugs, murdorors, child rapist, thieves are among the sitting MPs. How can this country go forward? Unelected, useless and unwanted man is the PM?
