The Organisation of Professional Associations of Sri
Lanka yesterday strongly condemnned the atrocities committed by Police
officers and urged the authorities concerned to contain this unfortunate
trend.
The OPA requested the authorities to take all necessary
steps to bring offenders under the rule of law as early as possible and
take firm preventive action to avoid similar happenings in the future.
It vehemently condemned recent police brutalities, in
particular the murder of two youths in Angulana and the inhuman torture
afflicted upon a student studying in SLIIT, Malabe. Fast action to bring
culprits under the rule of law will contribute not only to confidence in
the government but will help establish the country’s image universally
as an upholder of human rights, the OPA said.
