Ahead of Friday's Opposition rally "COME AND FACE THE LAW"

Speaking in Parliament, the President said there was no reason to fear the legal process if one is innocent.

“Don’t be afraid to face the law. If you are clean, come and prove your innocence,” he said.

Rajapaksa who is currently settled in the US is supposed to appear before the Matara Magistrate’s Court on Friday, November 21, over allegations that he illegally acquired land using Rs. 50 million in unlawfully obtained funds.
