COLOMBO (News 1st); There are delays in filing cases against those involved in terrorism as investigations must take place strategically ensuring those accountable don’t use loopholes to evade the law, Public Security Minister Rear Admiral (Retd) Dr. Sarath Weerasekara told Parliament on Wednesday (19).
“If cases were filed against the suspect immediately, their (suspects) talented counsel will use loopholes to secure their release. That is why there is a delay in investigations in order to cover all bases,” said the Public Security Minister.
