Organised Crime Prevention Bill Legal Challenge

Sri Lanka's Supreme Court has begun hearings on 26 petitions challenging the government's proposed Organised Crime Prevention Bill. The case involves fundamental rights considerations and legal scrutiny of the proposed legislation.

26 petitions against an organized crime bill? That's either democracy working beautifully or everyone in Sri Lanka suddenly became a constitutional law enthusiast overnight. Either way, the Supreme Court's calendar just went from "mostly free" to "why did we even install coffee machines."
