Social Media Activist Anuruddha Bandara has filed a Fundamental Rights (FR) application at the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka against his arrest and detention.
Earlier this month, Bandara was apprehended by the Modara Crime Division for operating a Facebook page called ‘Gota Go Home’.
A public uproar was caused after his sudden disappearance, following which the Modara Crime Division had revealed his arrest to the public.
Anuruddha Bandara yesterday filed an FR petition seeking a ruling from the Supreme Court stating that his arrest and detention were a violation of his fundamental rights.
The social media activist has also requested for a compensation of Rs. 100 million through his petition. (NewsWire)
