Sajith to go international to secure Ranjan's release

COLOMBO (News 1st); The Leader of the Opposition, Sajith Premadasa stated that the assistance of the International Community will be sought to secure the release of former Parliamentarian, Ranjan Ramanayake who is currently in prison.

The Leader of the Opposition stated that he had repeatedly requested the President to release Ranjan Ramanayake.

He says that the only option is to seek the help of the international community.

"But if we are not able to achieve that victory locally, we will have to carry out all possible legitimate democratic processes for the freedom of Ranjan Ramanayake," said Sajith Premadasa adding that process will in NO way violate Sri Lanka's sovereignty.
