Legal and Judicial Reforms
Sri Lanka is proposing multiple legislative changes including allowing witnesses to testify via video link from overseas and introducing community service as an alternative to jail sentences. These reforms aim to modernize the legal system and court procedures.
Sri Lanka's legal system is finally embracing technology—witnesses can now testify from overseas via video link, which is great because at this rate, the trials themselves might need to be conducted posthumously anyway. Community service instead of jail sounds progressive until you realize the real punishment is just... waiting for the verdict.
