Udaya Gammanpila: Presidential Immunity

Abstract

FALSE: “…Even if [former President Sirisena] has committed a crime, he cannot be prosecuted as he enjoys immunity in terms of Article 35(1) of the Constitution… No law has stripped Presidential immunity against criminal prosecution conferred by Article 35 of the Constitution..." - Udaya Gammanpila, Udaya Gammanpila's Official Twitter, 23 May 2020
