Amnesty International concerned over detention of 22-yr-old under PTA
The Island
|April 07, 2025
Amnesty International South Asia has raised concerns over the detention of 22-year-old Mohamad Rusdi on 22 March 2025 in Colombo.
-
Issuing a statement, Amnesty International South Asia said Rusdi has been detained for 90 days under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA).
Amnesty International South Asia has expressed disappointment in the use of the PTA by authorities under Sri Lanka's new leadership.
Amnesty International South Asia points out that two weeks since the arrest, Sri Lankan authorities have been unable to furnish any evidence of criminal wrongdoing legitimising Rusdi's arrest or continued detention.
As such, the Rights group urged the Sri Lankan authorities to immediately restore Rusdi's due process rights, and, in the absence of any credible charges or credible evidence of an internationally recognisable crime being committed, release him.
