Gnanasara Thera will be released on 4 February – Abeywardena
Posted in Local News
If President Maithripala Sirisena pardons convicted Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) General Secretary Ven. Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thera on 4 February, he can be released, Minister Vajira Abeywardena said.
He said so yesterday (23), while addressing a press briefing about the 71st National Day.
“The President can give a pardon to anyone with the approval of …the Attorney-General (given by way of a report) since they check the prisoner’s activities in the jail, and whether he or she has behaved,” he said.
He stressed that all prisoners pardoned by the President were either in their ’70s or ’80s, or they had been jailed for more than eight or 10 years.

That’s good news.
having failed to grab Arjuna Mahendram by his collar during his visit to Singapore, the King needs support to undermine his own Government from within.
Gnanasara Himi, with his expletive laden speeches will be a fantastic weapon in the King’s arsenal to defeat Wimpy Wicks.
