Rishad to get a restraining order?

09 Jul 2021

By Aazam Ameen After yesterday’s (08) conclusion of Supreme Court proceedings which heard the case of the Fundamental Rights (FR) petition requesting the release of Parliamentarian and Leader of the All Ceylon Makkal Congress (ACMC) Rishad Bathiudeen, who is currently being detained by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), The Morning learnt that his detention order may be converted into a restraining order. Speaking to The Morning, Bathiudeen’s lawyer Rushdie Habeeb stated that a request to convert the detention order into a restraining order is being considered by the Attorney General. Further, Habeeb explained that if the same is approved, Bathiudeen will be able to remain at home and move around within the geographical limits of the order. If the same is ruled out as a possibility, Habeeb states that the Court will then have to make a decision on his release, which has been sought for in the FR petition. The next hearing is set to take place on 15 June and the same bench is expected to hear the matter. Meanwhile, the Secretary General of the Committee on the Human Rights of Parliamentarians of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Martin Chungong, wrote to the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka requesting for permission for an international observer representing the IPU to follow remotely yesterday’s (08) hearing on the Fundamental Rights (FR) petition of Bathiudeen. However, when The Morning asked Habeeb if international eyes were watching over the Court’s proceedings, he stated that no such observer was present. “There was no observer. We are not aware of the reply given to the IPU by the Supreme Court Registrar in this regard,” Habeeb said.
