Sri Lanka's Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Thursday filed a fundamental rights (FR) petition in the Supreme Court over the arrest of its members in Galle on August 12.
JVP sources told that the Galle police had assaulted two JVP MPs Vijitha Herath and Ajith Kumara and JVP Southern Provincial Councilor Nalin Hewage while they were in police custody at the Galle Police Station.
Herath last month lodged a complaint about the incident with the Inspector General of Police (IGP) at the Police Headquarters in Colombo calling for an impartial investigation into the incident.
The JVP members were arrested after they participated in a protest calling for the release of former Army Commander and DNA Leader Sarath Fonseka in Galle last month.
