According to Prisons Media Spokesperson and Commissioner Chandana Ekanayake, the report – which has been requested – is being compiled and will be submitted to the Justice Ministry this week.
Responding to a question by The Sunday Morning, Minister of Justice Dr. Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said he was awaiting the report and that the Ministry would act on assessing the report before coming to any decision regarding the possibility of a pardon for the former MP.
