Warrant issued to arrest Gnanasara Thero
The Colombo Magistrate’s Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of the General Secretary of the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) Organization – Ven. Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thero after failing to appear before court.
The Thero was named as a defendant in a case filed for insulting the religion of Islam, of which the verdict was to be delivered today. However, the Thero was absent when the case was called and his attorney informed the court that his client could not attend proceedings due to an illness.
Taking the presented facts into consideration, Colombo Additional Magistrate Pasan Amarasena postponed the announcement of the verdict to Jan. 09, 2025, while also ordering the arrest and production of Gnanasara Thero before the court.
