The Presidential Commission report on the Batalanda detention facility has been sent to the Attorney General. The Presidential Media Division (PMD) said that the Commission report had been forwarded to the AG on the instructions of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake as the government decided to act on the findings.
The Parliament debated the report on 10 April. The government called for urgent action after Al Jazeera raised the issue with former President and UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe during an interview recorded in London in late February this year.
