Former CID Director Shani Abeysekera has suffered a sudden heart attack after he was transported to a special military run quarantine center in Polonnaruwa Colombo Telegraph learns, with doctors at the Welikanda Hospital recommending his urgent transport to Colombo for adequate treatment.
Local media reports quoted the Commissioner General of Prisons as saying Abeysekera has since been transferred to the Infectious Diseases Hospital (IDH) in Colombo following multiple appeals from opposition politicians, the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka and the police official’s frantic and desperate family.
SSP Abeysekera reportedly tested positive for the corona virus earlier this week. His lawyers are pleading for bail in courts because the former CID chief suffers from several underlying conditions that have proved fatal for patients who contract COVID19.
The development about Shani Abeysekara’s deteriorating health condition came even as President Gotabaya Rajapaksa sought legal options on Friday (27) to hold the decorated Senior Superintendent of Police in jail instead of allowing his admission to a hospital for urgent medical care.
The Ministry of Defence is currently in consultations with the Attorney General and other officials about legal ways to hold Abeysekera in prison instead of allowing his treatment at a proper medical facility. Colombo Telegraph learns that the Government is mulling a Detention Order under the Prevention of Terrorism Act to keep Abeysekera in prison and out of hospital.
But pressure was mounting on the Government which was hoping to keep Abeysekera’s diagnosis and quarantine whereabouts concealed, to ensure the former CID director did not come to any danger while in state custody.
On Thursday (26) the HRCSL, responding to pleas from Abeysekera’s family and civil society organisations directed the Prisons Commissioner General to transfer the former CID director to the Welikanda Hospital for treatment from the army camp in which he was being held in quarantine.
On Friday, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa pleaded with the Government to ensure Abeysekera received medical attention on “humanitarian grounds”. Premadasa urged the authorities to transfer Abeysekera to the Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH) in Rajagiriya as soon as possible.
Colombo Telegraph learns that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is closely observing the developments pertaining to Abeysekera’s custody and transportation arrangements and the former CID director’s whereabouts in real time.
Since August 2020 former CID Director Shani Abeysekera has been in remand custody at the Mahara Prison, held on charges of planting firearms to fabricate evidence against ex Colombo Crimes Division DIG Vaas Gunewardane who was convicted of the 2013 murder of businessman Mohammed Shiyam in exchange for the princely sum of Rs 10 million. Vaas Gunewardane was sentenced to death by a High Court trial at bar for Shiyam’s murder. During the trial, the AG’s department revealed that the senior cop and his son had been running a contract killing squad, using subordinate officers attached to the CCD. As CID ASP Shani Abeysekera broke the case and gathered damning evidence against Gunewardane that led to a successful prosecution and conviction of the bent cop.
Six years after the investigation into Vaas Gunewardane’s crimes commenced, his subordinates have recanted statements provided to the CID claiming that Abeysekera coerced their testimony. However the firearms in question are yet to be produced as evidence in court, and several of the shot guns are registered to Vaas Gunewardane and signed out of the police armoury.
A decision on Abeysekera’s bail application will be made by the Gampaha High Court Judge Nimal Ranaweera on December 7, 2020. (By Chinthika de Silva)

To judge religion by the name is most improper and to say “HE MUST BE” is indeed far too authoritative on a mere assumption.

It is further compounded by the fact that this assumption at the beginning has no bearing or reference on the comment which followed this opening statement.

Your comments hold nothing because you are still struggling to establish an ID for you. That is a hypocrisy you try to cover up that blaming others spew venom on you.
You guys have found your own virtue-alism, within you. That is what all the religions are preaching for 5000 years and have refused justice to oppressed ones. You need to give up your religious theories, recycled as political philosophy. Calling for justice is not venom or calling for eye for eye. You misunderstand your religious idea to natural law or logical philosophy.
Tamils did not call for disenfranchise Sinhalese, based on Soulbury constitution, when Don Stephen disenfranchised Tamils. You need a mirror which Lord Soulbury refused to use until his death but insisted he was right in unitary government for Ceylon.

It is a well-known fact that Mark Twain’s real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens.

When author Eric Arthur Blair was ready to publish his first book, Down and Out in Paris and London, he was concerned that his family would be embarrassed by the stories of their time in poverty. In order to protect them, he decided to adopt a pen name. He chose the name George Orwell.

Lieber originally made the decision to write under the name Stan Lee because he hoped to one day graduate to writing more serious literary work, and planned to save his real name for that.
P. D. James, by name of Phyllis Dorothy James White, Baroness James of Holland Park, British mystery novelist best known for her fictional detective Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard. Many thought that “She” was a “He”.
What may surprise some, though, is that Rowling has been writing crime novels under yet another pen name: Robert Galbraith. Rowling has said that she made the decision to write her crime novels under another pseudonym, so that she could freely write without having the pressure from being the author of the wildly successful Harry Potter books.

It is high time to REMOVE the term ” SINHALA BUDDHIST” from our day today language. Just calling ” srilanken buddhists” would definitely do lot more good for the nation.

This misleading term has evidently ruined this nation over the recent few decades. Many countries in EUrope, have go their taboo terms in their own langauge. But ours not to get caught by any kind of revisions, even if TV and Radio langauges have changed a lot today. Unfortunately, radio and TV langauge have not improved but terms being used are far from decent language terms that we were used to in 80ties. Athala gannawa…. I really don tknow what that means, Mal kadanawa…. Patta.. etc are just indecent langauge in 80ties.

What a terrible situation that is dawning on this country; the criminal murderers and rapists have been put in place to judge upright men who were establishing justice in the land.
.
There is an argument presented to not allow every citizen a vote when it comes to choosing those who should lead the country seeing as politics being like any other industry where specialisations matter and as such those who are specialists in the field of politics should be made in charge of electing those who will lead the country. This is a much better approach than allowing every easily fooled moda sinhala buddhist a vote, where their uneducated frustrated thug monks and criminal chief prelates influence their hoardes of moda sinhala buddhist voters to vote for the fool who they think will being about a golden age of buddhism. the moda sinhala buddhist voters and thug monks have only brought about murderers and rapists. But then against, even the kings of the golden days of Buddhist history (often referred to by said moda voters and thug monks) were in reality backward murderers and rapists. What a sad and hopeless people.
.
The only hope is that rational sinhala buddhists are able to inform these misguided moda sinhala buddhists of the self defeating policies they unknowingly support.

Ferryman / November 29, 2020
Dear Sitrep 24.
Some words of caution, in good faith.
Your statement :
…”But then against, even the KINGS OF THE GOLDEN DAYS OF BUDDHIST HISTORY (often referred to by said moda voters and thug monks) were in reality backward MURDERERS AND RAPISTS. What a sad and hopeless people.”……
So in CHRISTIAN HISTORY, does it imply, there are no cases of murderers and rapists. Leaving aside the Christian Kings of Europe and some in priestly garb, who were no better, you forget the Crusaders and Knights Templar, well known for the most gruesome murder rape pillage and physical disfigurements, in the name of religion.
I do not think ANY of our ancestors, here in SL or abroad, were such saints that they qualify for “good behaviour” certificates. But that was the time of no human rights and the old Testament
“ A tooth for a tooth and an eye for n eye” being practised.
Coming back to SL, most of us talking so much old history, do not realise that before 1505 there was no Christianity, and all of us Sri Lankans were of the same stock. So when you divide SBs and Christians, it is sad that real history of our common ancestry is forgotten for some small immediate benefit in a discussion.

/

Yes H 8 went to the extent of breaking the Church into two. The Catholic Church of Rome and the Church of England, All because he wanted to divorce and remarry.
/
SJ / November 30, 2020
F & OC
Henry VIII’s divorce is what many of us think is the cause of the break-up of the Church.
There were powerful socioeconomic reasons for the schism in England, which had much in common with developments in northern Europe at the time.
All of them had one thing in common, namely the conflict in interest between emergent capitalism (a progressive social force at the time) and the RC Church bound to feudal ideology.
*
Henry VIII’s place in history has parallels with those of Trump, Reagan, Thatcher and our own JRJ.
Beyond the personalities (seemingly comic or cynical) associated with a radical change, the individuals played a role in delivering the goods for a class that was itching for change.
While the changes associated with Luther and Calvin are understood in terms of social realism and Christian values, association of the change in England with the personality of Henry VIII has diverted attention from key ideological factors including the emergence of nationalism as a political force and even historical differences with the authority of the Vatican.
*
Anglican intellectuals could do more to rectify the general impression that the Church of England was merely a playboy king’s folly.
/
old codger / December 2, 2020
F,
It is interesting that Anglican services are not that much different from the RC practices. Except that the churches don’t have as many images of saints. Quite different from the all-singing and dancing evangelicals.
However, the doings of some playboy successors of Henry ( including Prince Charles) make their alleged Church leadership rather dubious.

sitrep24 / November 30, 2020
Dear ferryman,
I see yourself and another pseudo intellectual who are on here trying to act decent all the while play this game of ‘whataboutism’ and trying to white wash and make excuses for the crimes of the moda sinhala buddhists, thug monks and criminal prelates. If these people were anything other than ignorant they’d know better than to bow in worship to a lifeless statue of a man who died many years ago (a statue they made with their own hands) that cannot help itself let alone help a destitute people.
.
And I don’t need your words of caution. I don’t think anywhere in Europe the kings of old are given some special treatment, where their past crimes are white washed and portrayed as anything but the horrific acts they were. After the age of enlightenment there has been a shift to equality and equal treatment of every citizen. You don’t see in Europe government run by murderers and rapists trying to drag their countries back into the dark ages of slavery and colonialism.
.
Rational buddhists should speak out against the hoardes of moda sinhala buddhists and those cowards trying to white wash the crimes of the moda sinhala buddhists.

Possibly Shiranthi “Rajapuka” ( your favourite term) and Cardinal Ranjith who plugged a pro SLPP line and got the entire Catholic belt north of Colombo and Kaluthara District coastal belt to SLPP, are exempt for your incorrect calculations..
What about Muslim enclaves of Puttalam Weligama Beruwala and some in the East who voted SLPP, are they exempt.?
Unfortunately, only buddhist clergy is found fault with. I personally find the buddhist clergy guilty of a many crime, and hold no candle for them, BUT I find it quite distasteful when the other communities and religious clergy who are no better, are not found equally guilty.

Gota is punishing him for investigating Gota’s Lasantha murder.
All this because in 2014 the Opposition chose a Rajapaksa double agent Sirisena to be president.
/
Ashan / November 28, 2020
It is simple. If Gota was NOT involved, in any shape or fashion, with the brutal assassination of Lasantha, he would have, long time ago, let the investigations go on, and bring those guilty to face justice.
The guilty are afraid….afraid of the truth coming out, afraid of people speaking out, and afraid their supporters will know the truth.

Sadly, too many of the innocent but informed are more afraid than the guilty– but of consequences of speaking out or raising relevant questions.

No Sorrysena was a puppet the double agent was another Rajapaksa who held the justice ministry as Ranil did not have balls or backbone.
This gut was such a disgrace I hope Sri Lankan history ignores him.

this is what happens when ignorant uncouth unsavoury coolies get into positions they never dreamt of.
2.
in real life, they should be shit bucket carriers their ideal profession.
3.
the likes of eager-less puntak, Stanley Pasqual and soma will be the ideal co-workers for the rajapuk’s.
/
Stanley / November 28, 2020
And what are you the ideal co-worker for with your foul mouth and broken English? I think you must be a Rajapakse supporter in disguise. You fit the bill for a 69 year old pervert who cannot write a grammatically correct sentence without using an obscenity. SL has been re-exporting all its containers of filth and one of them must be yours.
/
SJ / November 28, 2020
This character is incorrigible.
Many have given up on him.
CT is to blame for such obscene remarks to appear.

BTW, Does 69 have any significance?

Thanks.
What an amusing coincidence, and fitting too for the filth that comes out.

I realise that your arithmetic is about as bad as mine:
2020-1952 = 68.

In some situations, silence is golden and let barbs “pass by me as an idle wind, which I respect not,” (Brutus responds to Cassius – him of the lean and hungry look).

Ferryman,
“The sad part is the eloquent example for Gentleman-ship of tolerance & pardoning , but an statue for the sheer greedy to victory and who on his lesson of the art of winning a war, Brutal Brutus, is willing to wait for pass the barb of enemy, so he need not to answer to the face, but can do it on the back.”
Ferryman, beg your comment on my understanding of your wise word.
/
Ferryman / December 2, 2020
Dear Mallai,
I was looking forward to your esteemed ready comments on Prof. Charles Sarvan’s erudite article, as well, but could not find any.
May I invite you to read it and give your valuable comments. Thank you.

All too true, but somethings stink to high heaven.
I wish CT takes notice.

Dear SJ.
Hope you had time to see my reply to one of our fellow commentators earlier, about half-way up this thread, regarding statues. A world wide phenomenon but ascribed or narrowed down and applied only to one section of humanity.
Is this typically called Myopia.?
As a personal Note.
My objection was not considering it’s worldwide use. Per se, statue worship is not my kettle of fish, anyway

This ailment of Shani is nothing of any importance to GR, our President. He (GR) has proven enough times of his “Heartless” and “Gruesome” character. Wasn’t he instrumental in arresting his own “Commander-in-Chief” who fought the war against LTTE and made him wear a prison “Jumper”? When BBC questioned him on Lasantha Wickramatunga’s murder, he (GR) rebuffed that and asked: “Who is Lasantha Wickramatunga”? Do I have to remind you of the many of the “Disappearances”, including those of “11” students, Journalists Prageeth Eknaligoda, Podala Jayantha, and many such others? Why go far? Just think “Seriously”, why he wanted to be the President, throwing avail of “BS” over the eyes of “6.9 million voters”? Nothing more than to get out of all the “Crimes” committed during the time he wielded power and saw to that all who were against or critical were “Eliminated”. Hw will continue in this “Mission”, now in “Sheep’s Clothe” with the full force of the “Dagger” of Presidential Powers in terms of “20A” and much such Legislation to come in the guise of a “New Constitution”. First try to understand the “Character” and many “Dubious” ways of operations and then only one can see this “Shani” or any other who stands on his way is “Nothing” but a piece of wrotten wood that can be disposed of at his wish and will.

SJ / November 28, 2020
While unconditionally denouncing this ugly cruel treatment of Shani, let us also give some thought to those who are held without trial or charges, the disappeared and other innocent victims of successive governments.

Gota Fail for not delivering what he promised even after 1 year, Rajapakse Family Fail as family rule is growing year by year, SLPP Fail as crooks-rapists-drug lords-murderers got nominations, Vyath Maga today left in Maha Maga Fail, Yuthukama today Ayuthukama Fail, UNP Fail under Ranil, Sri Lanka Fail under 250 Parliamentarians, Sinhala Buddhist Fail as no communal harmony, Cardinal Ranjith Fail for supporting Rajapakse family, SLMC Fail as no guts to kick out those who voted in support of 20A, Badurdeen Fail as he has not kicked out 20A supporters of his party, Muslim Mullah’s Fail as they oppose meaningful changes to marriage laws of Muslims, SJB Fail as they have not walked out at Budget voting time when false numbers were presented, Mahanayakes Fail as they have no control over their flock, Buddhist Monks fail as they behave like thugs, Justice System in SL Fail as the crooks are let go due to illegal judgements, Police Fail as those under their custody are summarily executed, Hindus Fail as they do not have a strong structre and a leading Hindu Religious Leader similar to Cardinal or Mahanayakes, and Political Parties Fail as they have not improved the standard of living of people.
All in all Sri Lankans Fail as they have elected all the above mentioned Failed Useless Candidates!

Shocking as it maybe, this comes as no surprise under this government.
–
Gotabaya had no business vying for the presidency of this country other than to earn impunity to his crimes and hold on to that impunity as long as he can, until death does him in, and in return for their votes, the SB nationalists have given him the responsibility to uphold their bigoted agendas. With his imputed presidency, he is doing all that he can to protect the criminals in his family from prosecution now and forever.
–
Hope the world is watching and urging the government to ensure the well-being of Mr. Shani Abeyesekara.
