The family of poet #ahnafjazeem meets HRCSL officers who had held an open session in Mannar today morning and inquires about inaction regarding the complaint made 10 months before about the unlawfull arrest of their son.
The B-Report of 11 December 2020 of the Colombo Magistrate Court Case B44230/8/20 against Poet #ahnafjazeem is here. Facts reported by TID under S.115 of the CrPC along with an application under S.127.
TID denies Poet #ahnafjazeem calling his family for the second consecutive week after the Poet was visited by his lawyers. The family fears Poet's physical security and wellbeing.
Lawyers for poet Ahnaf Jazeem complains to the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) about TID officers listening and audio-recording the conversation between the lawyers and their client, #ahnafjazeem. Their letter complains that the entire conversation was under police
This is outrageous. A violation of lawyer client confidentiality!
Two months after continuous appeals, two lawyers of Poet Ahnaf Jazeem were allowed to talk to the poet at TID today (08 March) morning for 19 minutes, while, in spite of lawyers' protest, two police officers were listening and audio-recording the conversation #ahnafjazeem
