National Freedom Front leader and Colombo District Parliamentarian Wimal Weerawansa, who has been remanded since January on a charge of misuse of state vehicles and causing a loss to the tune of Rs.91,600,000 yesterday launched a hunger strike, demanding his release from the Welikada Prison.
The bail application submitted on Weerawansa’s behalf by his lawyers was rejected by the Colombo High Court on Monday.
