Daily Mirror and WhatNews report that Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama rejected a motion by monks involved in a satyagraha at Viharamahadevi Park to change an order requiring protesters to leave. WhatNews says the original order was issued on the 22nd and the decision on the motion came on the 23rd. Rupavahini reports that the order followed a request by the Cinnamon Gardens police chief concerning the protest.
Newswire says the protest had continued for 10 days and was organised to call for the release of Ven. Galaboda Aththe Gnanasara Thero.
Newswire reports that Ven. Ulapane Sumangala Thero said the campaign would be paused after the chief prelates of the three Buddhist chapters told organisers in writing that they would pursue discussions with the government to secure Gnanasara Thero’s release. Sri Lanka Mirror also reports that the three Buddhist Nikayas’ Mahanayake Theras committed to intervene.
Newsfirst reports that protesters left the park on the 25th, while Ada Derana reports that they dismantled the protest structure. Newsfirst says the suspension followed the intervention by senior prelates; the reports describe the campaign as temporarily suspended while discussions are pursued.
