100,000/- each by Colombo Chief Magistrate Buddhika Sri Ragala. The three suspects were arrested by the Cinnamon Gardens Police on charges of engaging in a demonstration causing inconvenience to the general public. However, Sri Lanka Police was strongly advised by the Chief Magistrate NOT to pointlessly arrest members of the public and produce them in court. The Chief Magistrate pointed out that a person should be arrested when there are reasonable grounds that one had committed an offense against which a charge can be filed. The Chief Magistrate ordered for the case to be called up again on the 06th of December.
