National Freedom Front leader Wimal Weerawansa and six others, including Seneviratne, have been charged for obstructing traffic and using loudspeakers without prior permission during a protest held to oppose the visit by UNHRC Chief Zeid bin Ra’ad Al-Hussein on 6 th February 2016.
Colombo Magistrate’s Court today issued a warrant on Roger Seneviratne for not appearing at the court hearing on the protest held near the UN Office in Colombo.
Filing a motion through a lawyer, Seneviratne informed court that he was unable to attend the magisterial inquiry this morning as he could not arrive at the court premises on time.
Subsequently the Colombo Magistrate’s Court recalled the warrant issued on Roger Seneviratne, after he reported to court a short while ago.
