Police Ordinance does not have provision to impose curfew: BASL

08 Jul 2022

Responding to the Police Curfew that was imposed a short while ago today (08), the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) has expressed its strong protest at the imposition of the same by the Inspector General of Police. It further noted that the Police Ordinance does not have a provision for the imposition of such curfew.  “Such curfew is blatantly illegal and a violation of the fundamental rights of the people of our country who are protesting against President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his Government over its failure to protect their basic rights,” the BASL said in a statement. The Association further questioned the Inspector General of Police under what authority he has declared such curfew. “The declaration of curfew is clearly intended to stifle the freedom of expression and dissent and is totally unacceptable and undemocratic and will gravely harm Sri Lanka's economy and its social and political stability. It will affect Sri Lanka's international standing,” the BASL warned. Further, the people of Sri Lanka were called on to take all necessary steps to safeguard their democratic rights and to use every peaceful means at their disposal to protect such rights.  The BASL also called upon the inspector General of Police to immediately withdraw his illegal order. “Failure to withdraw the purported curfew order will have severe consequences for the country,” the statement concluded.
