Former State Intelligence Service Director Suresh Sallay is continuing his hunger strike while receiving treatment at the National Hospital of Sri Lanka, according to reports.

Sources said Sallay informed relatives and lawyers that he would continue the fast, citing concerns over ongoing investigations, his place of detention and the leadership of the Criminal Investigation Department.

Meanwhile, a Satyagraha organised by opposition parties is continuing opposite the Colombo Fort Railway Station in support of Sallay.

The matter remains before the courts.
