Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa today (23) visited former President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who is currently receiving treatment at the prison hospital.
Premadasa, accompanied by Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) parliamentarian Nalin Bandara, arrived at the Magazine Prison around 9.30 a.m.
The visit follows yesterday’s (22) order by the Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court, which directed that former President Wickremesinghe, after being arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and produced before court, be remanded until August 26.
Subsequently, Wickremesinghe, who was placed in remand custody, was admitted to the prison hospital on medical advice.
