Former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella’s daughter, Chamithri Rambukwella has filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) claiming that her father’s human rights have been violated.

MP Keheliya Rambukwella is currently in remand custody in connection to the case related to the importation of substandard Immunoglobulin vaccines and has been denied bail on multiple occasions. 

Filing a complaint with the HRCSL today (Mar 27), Chamithri Rambukwella claims that her father’s human rights have been violated.

She has further called on the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka to immediately conduct an investigation into the matter.

Earlier this week, Chamithri Rambukwella had also filed a bail application at the Colombo High Court for her father’s release. 

Filing a revision petition at the Colombo High Court, she requested that her father be released on bail conditions the court deems fit.

However, the Attorney General raised preliminary objections against the bail application for Keheliya Rambukwella. 

Deputy Solicitor General Lakmini Girihagama representing the Attorney General informed the court that the petitioner has failed to disclose all material facts to the court including the Magistrate’s court proceedings dated February 29, 2024.

High Court Judge Sujeewa Nissanka has fixed the hearing regarding the Attorney General’s preliminary objections to April 03, 2024. (NewsWire)
