Court permits death-sentenced Premalal Jayasekara to attend parliament

 

The Court of Appeal has permitted death-sentenced MP-elect Premalal Jayasekera to attend parliament sittings.

This was after a writ petition was filed by Jayasekara seeking an interim order from the Commissioner-General of Prisons.

Premalal Jayasekara was convicted of murder and sentenced to death by the Ratnapura High Court days before the General election in August.
