The stunning electoral sweep of the National People s Power (NPP) led by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is "an earthquake in Sri Lankan politics", says Erik Solheim, the former Norwegian peace facilitator in the island nation. 
The National People s Power (NPP) has reportedly decided to appoint MP Ashoka Ranwala, a long-time stalwart of the JVP, as the Speaker of the new Parliament. 
A Fundamental Rights (FR) petition has been filed with the Supreme Court seeking an order that the fundamental human rights have been violated through the decision by the respondents including former President Ranil Wickremesinghe to issue liquor licenses in violation of the Excise Act after the 2024 Presidential Election was announced. 
The Court of Appeal has upheld the death sentence given to Geeganagamage Amarasiri alias Julampitiye Amare who was accused of shooting and killing of two persons at a JVP rally in June 2012. 
Former State Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan alias Pilleyan has left the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), a short while ago, after providing a statement for around 5 hours.
