The Fort Magistrate’s Court today issued a notice to former President Maithripala Sirisena to appear in court pertaining to a case filed related to the 2019 Easter Sunday attacks.
Naming the former President a suspect in the case, the Fort Magistrate’s Court has ordered him to appear in court on 14th October 2022.
The notice was issued after the court considered a private plaint requesting the court to name Sirisena as an accused of the Easter attacks on charges of failing to prevent the attacks.
The private plaint had been filed by a member of the National Catholic Committee for Justice to Easter Sunday Attack Victims Fr. Cyril Gamini Fernando. (NewsWire)
