REFUGEE

Two JVP supporters engaged in propaganda work for the Presidential election were attacked in Moneragala at around 4 a.m. on Sunday (29). Moneragala Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman, Ratnawera and about 10 persons have been involved in the attack.

After the attack, the thugs have handed over on JVP supporter to the Moneragala Police.

The police had then arrested the other JVP supporter who was attacked by the thugs when he had gone to lodge a complaint. The police had not recorded the complaint.

The police said the JVP supporters were arrested and would be presented to court on charges that they attempted to create public disharmony.

However, the police have failed to take any action against the Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman and his supporters who attacked the JVPers.
The posters that were being pasted state, “The SF operation to protect the country even with their lives is ready.”

Since there is no public disharmony being created through it, the arrest of the two JVP supporters is a clear case of a politically motivated action.
