Colombo Chief Magistrate Gihan Pilapitiya yesterday ordered the Prison authorities to shift ex-Minister and Parliamentarian Wimal Weerawansa’s wife Shashi Weerawansa, from the private hospital in Malabe to the Prison Hospital.

The Magistrate directed the Prison authorities to transfer her to the Prison Hospital based on a motion filed by the Prison Department. The Magistrate also instructed the prison authorities to acquire a medical report from the Jail’s Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and pursue his assistance on whether former Minister’s wife needed to be shifted to the Colombo National Hospital.
