Why these subhuman crooks not in remand? Others are in remand for stealing 3 coconuts.

People are Supreme Friday, 07 October 2022 01:12 PM

Trusting the courts and complaining is a better struggle to pursue than shouting slogans at Galle Face and in the end allowing that lovely protest also to be hijacked by politically motivated persons. On the other hand Sri Lankans do have suspicions about the honesty and integrity of the court system and it will be a matter of time before the next Aragalaya (Peoples struggle) happens in front of court houses if corrupt judges and influential lawyers flaunt the system.

People are awaiting to see whether there's is justice in this country. This trial must be fair and free without any influence by any powerful politicians or justice heads. Because of one man the entire country country is suffering other the rulers and their allies.

System Change SC needs honest judges Friday, 07 October 2022 01:19 PM

Notorious and rapidly promoted pro Rajapakse Jug Nawaz not in the panel is a good sign. But this time the people are watching closely. Reputed lawyers should not be a reason for this case to not be heard honestly by the eminent judges. Hope the AGs office will not do those "stupid" technical blunders resulting in the case been dismissed which is another strategy bordering on corruption. We know, and we will be watching you this time.

Great initiative to win back the confidence from Sri Lankan’s as well as the international community. Hope the courts will punish these criminals with maximum penalties for bankrupting the country and the resulting suffering of all citizens

I am willing to bet on anything. The final outcome of this trial would be as same as the out come of Easter Sunday tragedy.

Nothing will happen. The Judiciary, Army and majority Sinhalese yakkos (69%) worship these respondents. This is like Kopi Kade drama, just dragging for entertainment of reading.

ONE NATION; ONE LAW Friday, 07 October 2022 03:29 PM

Cases filed so fast, even before the heat of the pillow these criminals slept had cooled. This is exactly what happened to Serbian leaders by UN. Here citizens have taken the initiative without waiting for the UN. Along the way, mass murder of innocent, elderly Catholics will be added to the crime we hope. This is the best example of "ONE NATION, ONE LAW," This time we love it! By the way, who is the lawyer defending GOTA?

This is an eye wash and they are friends.. Ranil will never do this and he doesn't want to make a political suicide by this .. because all SLPP MPs are agents of MR and co .. They could impeach Ranil any time either Ranil calls for early election or see some improvements.or some political chaos.. This country is in a precarious situation in politics and economy

The reason is totally sinhala people to whom British handed over the power to the country.They gave priority to racism and supremacy which Brought down fall of SL after 75 yrs. So this case will not win since politicians are selected by people

Gota, Economic crime is taken up at the SC because the entire nation suffered. However Tamils suffering in May 2009 and thereafter is swept under the carpet because they are a different race! Please remember that Karma has a long memory!
