Reacting to former Justice Minister Thalatha Athukorale’s revelations, Ahimsa Wickrematunge, daughter of slain The Sunday Leader Editor Lasantha Wickrematunge, tweeted that the prosecutorial discretion afforded to the Attorney General was a “shield to defend the innocent”.

“If prosecutors have independently concluded that Shani is innocent, his arbitrary detention must end at once. The Attorney General's prosecutorial discretion is a shield to defend the innocent, not a sword to wield in service of petty presidential vendettas,” Ahimsa tweeted yesterday.

Shani Abeysekera’s application seeking a revision of the High Court order will be taken up at the Court of Appeal today.
