Lawyers at the Trincomalee Court Complex today (13) morning engaged in a silent protest, strongly condemning the actions of Balangoda Kassapa Thero, who made comments through the media in a manner that insulted the court and the magistrate.
While staying at the hunger strike site near Ruwanwelisaya, Kassapa Thero made several statements that severely insulted the court. He publicly declared that it was clear that Trincomalee Magistrate M.S.M. Samsudeen did not know the law during the court proceedings related to the Trincomalee Buddha statue incident. Furthermore, he stated that the said Magistrate's Court had no authority to hear his case, and that a separate court should be established for that purpose under Article 105/4 of the Constitution.Here is the video of Kassapa
