The Co Convener of the Citizens Organizations Collective Saman Ratnapriya has said today (17) although neighbouring India wants LTTE Leader KP as the key suspect of Rajiv Gandhi Murder Case ,Sri Lanka's Attorney General has recently dismissed all the alleagtions leveled against KP citing there's no evidance to prove the charges.However in reality there are enough evidance to prove charges leveled against KP and by dismissing the charges against him Attorney General has acted as a supporter of former Rajapakshe Regime .

Addressing a press briefing held in Colombo today(17) Ratnapriya has said regarding Avant Guarde floating armoury case too Attorney General and Attorney General's Department had acted in strange manner and they have given legal concessions to the suspects of that case including the former defense secretary and some directors of Avent Guarde Company 

Due to these biased decisions of Attorney General and the Department the public trust put on the local judiciary is fading away Ratnapriya has said.

Dr.Balendra

National Child Protection Authority has decided to submit seven proposals to the government regarding actions to be taken regarding  child rape cases including  extending the prison sentence of child rapists from 10 years to 20 years according to the president of  National Child Protection Authority Dr.Natasha Balendra.

Addressing a press briefing held In Colombo yesterday(16) Dr.Balendra has said that the child protection authority has never entertained the imposing of capital punishment against child rapists as studies  carried out by western countries have  clearly  shown that by  imposing capital punishment the number of child rape cases will not be decreased .

Among st the seven proposals that child protection authority is  planning to submit to the government are establishing a high court each in every province and appointing a high court   commissioner to hear child rape cases and giving a special training for those officers who are working with children.
