Writs filed against police order on Galle Face protest site withdrawn

The writ applications were filed before the Court of Appeal on August 04 after the Colombo Fort Police ordered those occupying tents and temporary shelters at the Galle Face protest site to vacate the premises by 5.00 p.m. on Aug 05. 

On August 05, the Attorney General gave an undertaking to the Court of Appeal that no action outside legal procedures would be taken against the temporary structures at the ‘GotaGoGama’ protest site at Galle Face until August 10, 2022.
