The Hambantota Magistrate’s Court on July 29 recalled the arrest warrant issued against SLPP Member of Parliament Namal Rajapaksa and granted him anticipatory bail.

This order was issued after MP Rajapaksa appeared before the Hambantota Magistrate’s Court through a motion, following his return to the country upon concluding his visit to the Maldives.

A case has been filed against MP Namal Rajapaksa and several others for allegedly disregarding court orders during a 2017 protest against the transfer of the Hambantota Port to foreign companies.
