Police harassment on sister’s wedding day!
Bhavanandini (35), a resident of Batticaloa, has lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) alleging that she was obstructed by Vavuniya Police on her sister’s wedding day.
She is a resident of Mandapathadi, Kannankuda and has lodged this complaint against the Vavunathivu Police.
She said in her complaint,
‘My sister’s wedding was held on 26.11.2020. We were building a shed for it. The police took us to the police station and questioned us, thinking that we were building a shed on the occasion of Heroes’ Day. The next day, after checking the documents of the Grama Niladhari and the Health Officer, we were released. Has been done.
She called on the Human Rights Commission to take steps to prevent such an inconvenience in the future.
