Many an eyebrow has been raised in defence circles by the failure on the part of the police to arrest controversial Public Relations Minister Mervyn Silva`s son Malaka wanted for his alleged involvement in an incident where two army officers attached to military intelligence were severely assaulted and relieved of a service revolver and a mobile phone at Jaic Hilton in the wee hours of Sunday.
The Major injured in the attack is receiving treatment at the Army Hospital, Colombo.
Police spokesman SSPAjith Rohana said two special police teams had been deployed to arrest Malaka and one of them had visited the suspect s house but he had not been there at that time.
The police were expected to arrest Malaka either last evening or latest by today and drastic action would be taken against the police personnel concerned if they failed to do so, the SSP said.
Malaka is moving about freely surrounded by bodyguards including Ministerial Security Division personnel, according to sources. On Tuesday he visited the Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya, paid homage to the Kapilavastu Relics there and walked away despite the presence of 500 Special Task Force (STF) commandos and over 2,000 police personnel providing security to the temple. There were also more than a dozen high ranking police officers overseeing the security operations.
Police spokesman, asked whether there had been 2,500 police men at the Kelaniya temple on the days when the relics exposition was held, answered in the affirmative.
According to highly placed sources, a CCTV footage obtained from the Jaic Hilton security division have corroborated the victims` statement to the police that Malaka de Silva and Rehan Wijerante assaulted them and removed a revolver and a mobile phone.
Asked what action the army had taken in this regard, Acting Military spokesman Brigadier G. V. Ravipriya told The Island that the military investigation would be carried out after the police investigation was over.

Sinhala lankans must be feeling the pressure Politically,Economically with UNHRC team led by the Hanny Megally who unravelled war crimes of Sudan & send its president to face ICC charges...
Stinky beggars beg,borrow & steal only to waste it on lobbyists like Richard Armitage but only to be of no anvil...!!
:-))
the Minister of External Affairs GL Peireis met former US Deputy Secretary of State, under the Bush Administration, Richard Lee Armitage last Friday and briefed him on the prevailing situation in the country and efforts of reconciliation.
These visits precede a visit by a team of technical experts from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on Friday (14). The delegation heading to Sri Lanka is said to comprise Hanny Megally, Chief of the Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa branch and includes Oscar Solera from the Rule of Law Unit and Aswa Petra, Desk Officer for Sri Lanka.
Meanwhile the External Affairs Minister will also meet Secretary General of the Commonwealth Kamalesh Sharma today
Below Here is the few High Profile cases handled by Hanny Megally which will sure raise the hackles of racist war criminals..
:-))
The Security Council should call on the government of Sudan to make its position clear on the comprehensive approach to peace, justice and reconciliation recommended by the AU Panel, said Hanny Megally, ICTJ s Interim President. it should take measures to end impunity for the atrocious crimes that took place in Darfur since the beginning of the conflict in 2003 fully compensate the victims for the harms and losses they continue to suffer and encourage a return to social peace among the people of Darfur.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights concluded that the Iraqi judicial system did not have the capacity to conduct the necessary trials.
'The concern was that the Iraqi judicial system, after 30 or 40 years of corruption, oppression and nepotism, would struggle to mount trials on such major issues as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide,' explained Hanny Megally, director of the Middle East and North Africa Programe at the ICTJ.

As usual eyebrows are raised in Sri Lanka for the wrong reason. The question that should be asked is what was two armed military men doing at the Hilton?
Why did the white van excape the scene if it was around and had the right to do it?

this is a real joke.. a man must have a dignity and been a senior politician in the ruling party ,how can Maruwin keep silent on this case. it shows clearly that the level of justice in the country and how its been manipulated over and over again. does this indicates that the law is applicable only for the poor citizen and the rest are privileged and above the law..justice should not have sides and favoritism. he may be innocent or guilty for his act but it should be tested and conclude. |

No he had spoken if you missed it. He has better things to do.
it shows clearly that the level of justice in the country and how its been manipulated over and over again.
It sure does. Two Army men mingling in a five star hotel looking for prey.
does this indicates that the law is applicable only for the poor citizen
No what this indicates is that the white vans are even roaming around five star hotels and make sure that your kids call home atleast once in a couple of hrs to say they are safe. Tourists be on the guard.
Now can you blame the Brits for warning their citizens going to SL?

The gang of thugs who broke into a political meeting held by the JVP at Katuwana recently and shot dead two participants at the meeting are still at large says the General Secretary of the JVP Tilvin Silva adding that it is a very serious situation.
You sure they were thugs and not MI officers following orders?

Cabinet Spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella said on Thursday that Malaka Silva, the son of Minister Mervyn Silva who was wanted in connection with the assault on an Army major had not been arrested while he was at the Kelaniya Temple as the police would have felt that arresting him in the sacred precincts of the Kelaniya Temple was not proper.
Police would have thought that arresting him in the presence of the Sacred Relics was not etiquette, he said.
By Allowing a Criminal to visit a Sacred place is a Offence against Humanity.
