BASL concerned over Ranil’s attack on Saliya Pieris
The Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) Bar Council has raised concerns over the attack on senior lawyer Saliya Pieris PC by President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
The President had launched the attack in Parliament last week while making a speech.
The BASL Bar Council concluded unanimously that a senior lawyer being called a “political lawyer” by the Head of State under cover of immunity and privilege is a matter of serious concern.
