Convener of Inter Uiniversity Student Federation remanded

The bail conditions imposed on the convener of Inter University Students Federation Sanjeewa Bandara were removed by Colombo Fort Magistrate and he was remanded till the 15th.
The police had charged him for participating in a students’ agitation and damaging public property while under bail conditions.

The Court had released Mr. Sanjeewa Bandara on bail when he was charged that he had damaged public property at an agitation held in August, 2012 on conditions that he would not participate in any such agitations.

However, students say there hadn’t been any damage to public property at the agitation and protest march carried out by university students on the 3rd and he was remanded on falls charges. The students say the police have mislead the court and emphasize  they  would take legal action against the police move.
