Shani traneferred to IDH hospital following Sajith’s request
Authorities yesterday (27) transferred former CID Director Shani Abeysekera from the qurantine treatment centre, in Gallela, to the IDH Hospital. Earlier in the day, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa requested the government in Parliament to shift SSP Shani Abeysekera from the quarantine treatment centre in Gallella to the IDH Hospital.
“SSP Abeysekera was in remand custody in Mahara when he tested positive for COVID-19. He has been sent to Gallella Quarantine centre, 200 km away. He is a heart patient, suffering from diabetes.
In addition, he has threats to his life because of his investigations. I contacted some officials and asked them whether he could be transferred to the IDH hospital. I request you on humanitarian grounds to shift him from Gallella to the IDH hospital.”
