Govt. to amend Online Safety Act

(LANKAPUVATH | COLOMBO) – The Attorney General informed the Supreme Court today that the current government has decided to introduce several amendments to the Online Safety Act, which was enacted during the previous administration.

This announcement was made by Solicitor General Viraj Dayaratne, representing the Attorney General, during the hearing of four fundamental rights petitions challenging the legality of the law’s enactment.

The petitions were filed by several parties, including Transparency International Sri Lanka, claiming that the manner in which the law was passed was unconstitutional.
