A FUNERAL FOR JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE...

A protest was held by lawyers in front of the Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court condemning the attack on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) secretary by an unidentified group. The protestors, shouldering a mock-coffin, were engaging in a protest march in the vicinity of the Hulftsdorp court complex, which houses the Fort Magistrate’s Court, chanting slogans mourning the death of the independence of the judiciary.
