[Meanwhile in SRI Lanka] Several police officers from the Karandeniya police illegally arrested Chandila Padmakumara Gurusinghe apparently on the instigation of a cinnamon trader. He was arrested without being informed of the reason for his arrest and he learned it only after he was brought to the police station by listening to the conversation of the police officers who tortured him. He identified the officers who were responsible for his ordeal as Police Constable Silva (PC 53241), Sub Inspector (SI) Prasanna Mendis (who is Officer-in-Charge of the Crime Branch) and Inspector of Police (IP) Lal Chandrasiri, among others... The officers first bound Chandila’s hands behind his back. Then they threw another rope over a ceiling beam, which they attached to the rope binding Chandila’s hands. He was made to stand on a chair and the officers took up the slack on the rope. When they were ready, PC 53241 kicked the chair out from under Chandila, leaving him hanging by his wrists. Chandila was in enormous pain and felt as if his shoulders and wrists were broken....
