Newswire, Sri Lanka Mirror and Hiru News report that the Supreme Court has started hearing petitions contesting the Protection of the State from Terrorism Bill. Sri Lanka Mirror says the government presented the bill to Parliament and that the petitions challenge its constitutionality.
The accounts give different numbers: Sri Lanka Mirror reports that 22 petitions had been filed, and Hiru News describes 22 petitions as scheduled for hearing that day. Ada Derana reports that the court began hearing 25 petitions. The reports do not reconcile the totals.
WhatNews reports that the Professional Journalists’ Association filed a petition disputing provisions in the draft legislation. Hiru News separately reports that Udaya Gammanpila filed a petition against the bill.
