The Inter-University Students Federation (IUSF) has commenced a protest march calling for the release of its student leaders Wasantha Mudalige and Ven. Galwewa Siridamma Thero.
Mudalige and Ven. Siridamma Thero have been detained under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) for over 90 days for their participation in a protest in Colombo.
They were further remanded after being produced before the Colombo Additional Magistrate yesterday.
The court ordered the two IUSF student leaders to be remanded until the Attorney General’s injunctions are received.
The IUSF has organized a mass protest march today urging the authorities to release their student leaders.
Access to Bauddhaloka Mawatha in Colombo from the Thunmulla Junction has been temporarily closed due to the IUSF protest march. (NewsWire)
