(MENAFN- Colombo Gazette) Student activists Wasantha Mudalige and the Venerable Galwewa Siridhamma Thero, who were arrested under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), were granted bail today.
Mudalige and the Venerable Galwewa Siridhamma Thero were produced before the Kaduwela Magistrate who ordered that bail be granted.
