The United States ambassador Alina Teplitz says that arrest of Jaffna mayor is worrisome.
Having strong rule of law with judicial safeguards is a better way to fight terrorism while protecting everyone’s basic freedom, she further added.
The Mayor of Jaffna Municipal Council Visvalingam Manivannan was arrested yesterday (9) morning by the Sri Lankan Police for allowing five men to wear uniforms similar to the Colombo municipal council.
