Transparency International Sri Lanka (TISL) in a statement called upon the Government to publicly disclose all relevant documents in the case of the Presidential pardon afforded to the convict in the case of the Mirusuvil Massacre of December 2000, reports Colombo Page on April 2.The TISL said the Presidential Secretariat must make the Report of the Trial Judge, Advice of the Attorney General and the recommendation of the Justice Minister public.TISL said it is concerned that failure to do so could result in irreparable damage to the separation of powers between the executive and judiciary especially given that the conviction and sentencing in this case was upheld by a five member bench of the Supreme Court comprised of Justices BuvanekaAluvihare, Nalin Perera, Sisira de Abrew, Priyantha Jayawardena and Murdhu Fernando in April 2019.

The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) raised concerns about the arbitrary arrest and detention of lawyer Hejaaz Hizbullah in the conduct of their investigation of the Easter Sunday bombings, reports Colombo Page on April 23. Lawyer Hejaaz Hizbullah was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on April 14, pursuant to the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) and has since been kept in detention. No reasons were provided at the time of the arrest. “No one questions the government’s need and obligation to investigate the horrendous Easter Sunday attacks, but these investigations must be conducted in a way that is consistent with international law and the Sri Lankan Constitution. Not serving Hizbullah a remand order as required by law, and denying him full and confidential access to legal counsel is unacceptable and in violation of international standards on the right to liberty,” said Frederick Rawski, ICJ Asia-Pacific Director.

Human Rights Watch (HRW), expressing concerns over Sri Lanka’s due process in recent arrests of Muslims said Sri Lankan authorities should uphold due process rights and ensure that recently detained Muslim figures have proper access to lawyers, reports Colombo Page.“Sri Lankan authorities have a responsibility to prosecute those responsible for the horrific Easter Sunday attacks last year, but the arrests should be lawful, and not used to vilify an entire community.The recent arrests of well-known Muslims, combined with biased government actions and rising anti-Muslim hate speech, raise concerns for the broader safety of the Muslim community,” said Meenakshi Ganguly, South Asia director. On April 14 the authorities arrested Hejaaz Hizbullah, a prominent lawyer, apparently under the draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA).
