Day after Poya day arrack brought to school.

Muditha Mihiraka is a year 12 student at Gnanodaya School in Kaluthara. In Sri

Lanka 3 rd of July was an Esela poya daya. Day after this poya day the studentsof this school observed sill. On that day the students brought tea in coca cola

bottles. Teachers found arrack in one of these bottles. The principal and some of

the teachers alleged Muditha for brought arrack to the school which was both

Muditha and his parents vehemently. The principal told Muditha not to attendschool. Mudithas father complained to the relevant authorities including the

human rights commission about this injustice on 18.07.2012. They were called

to appear before the Kalutara South police on 23.07.2010 regarding thecomplaint made by Mudithas father. At the inquiry the principal remained in a

strong position and mentioned that he does not take Muditha to school unless alaw above imposes it. He too mentioned that he wants to protect 2500 students.On 23.07.2012 Mudithas mother again complained to the human rights

commission, the Director of Education, the Women and child burea, and the

Child Rights Authority. We urge the relevant authorities to consider and

concern about the future generation unless trying to protect the principals and

teachers who violate the right to education of children and who are unable tomaintain the disciplinary in schools due to their inability and inefficiency.

Welipanna police arrested 62 years old Maddumage Don Jinasoma who went to

the nearby jungle with two of his companions to drink arrack which they

bought. Jinasoma is a retired army officer and a married father of two children.

He resides at No 67, Maha Oya road, Madavala, Rabukkana. This incident was

happened on 13.10.2011. After that Jinasoma and his two friends were broughtto the Welipanna police station. The police officers who involved this were the

SI Wijethunga of minor complaint division, Amarapala 65947, gramaarakshaka

Kannangara, Withana , Premadasa 12983 and another gramaarakshaka woman.

The above mentioned words were told to Jinasoma while he was putting to the

cell by a police personal. He was being inside the cell for two hours and took

his signature to a statement without mentioning what it was about and released

him advising to appear before the Mathugama courts on 25.10.2011. The

fabricated charge against him was selling 02 drams of arrack to the policeman

called Amarapala. At the courts Jinasoma pleaded his innocence. He was

bailout for Rs10,000 cash bail and a surety valid Rs.100,000/=. Jinasoma

complained to the relevant authorities about the injustice which was happenedto him. His innocence was proved before these authorities. On 29.05.2012 he

was appeared before the court but his case was not called. The registrar office

informed him that his case was withdrawn by the police. On 08.06.2012

Jinasoma requested a certified copy of his case from the registrar office. But the

staff of the registrar office informed him such a case was not registered. But heagain requested it from the register of the courts. After that he received a

certified copy of his case. We have to say only one thing. The illegal arrest,

torture , and fabrication of charges are not isolated crimes which werecommissioned only by the police. A considerable number of professionals and

the court staffs are also directly or indirectly support this. To eliminate this type

of state crimes we need a hard commitment and change of attitude of the entiresociety.

He was our man but nothing to do Payagala Pradeshiya saba

We have been heard about Road development. Everywhere there is awakening

miracle. We are going to tell a story that not imposing law to the relative ofgolden minister Rohitha Abeygunawardena. For 1 and years justice has not

happened. His name was Pahalage Chandralal Silva Abeygunawardena. He was

a father of three children. He was resided at Ihalavadugoda, Payagala before his

death. He passed away on the 6th

January 2011. It was happened by falling into

a dig of 10 feet in length due to not maintaining the bridge of Alagahawatta

road, Payagala. After the tragic death of him his wife met the chairman of thePayagala Pradeshiya saba.(Local Council) The chairmans reply was the

heading of this article. This died person attended almost every personal matters

of Golden Minister including taking his daughter to tuition class to takingmedicines to his ill mother. After the death which was due to negligence of

Pradeshiya saba this minister did nothing to help the family to seek justice and

get them have reasonable compensation. Instead of this, the Minister proposedthe decease mans wife to send him an application then he would give her a job.

Although she submitted an application but she has not received a job until now.

She has been grown up her three children with immense sever difficulties. After

the tragic death of her husband she met the officers of legal aid commission at

the Kalutara courts. It had been kept her file until day before yesterday that was18.07.2012 and said they could not proceed with the case but if she would find a

lawyer for the case then the legal aid commission would be able to pay the

lawyer fee. This is the reality of awakening miracle. The photograph is of thedeceased Chandralals wife.
