Half a Dozen Buddhist Nationalist Monks Remanded over Protest near Homagama Court

Police escort the Buddhist monks to the Homagama Court
Sri Lankan magistrates remanded six ultranationalist Buddhist monks for their parts in unruly protests on 27 January 2016 over the remanding of their colleague Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thera, the general secretary of the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS). The BBS is a militant Sinhala Buddhist nationalist organization, which over the past few years has played a part in a number of sensationalist incidents including attacks against Christian and Muslim places of worship. The remanded monks are members of related nationalist organizations, including the Ravana Balaya and Sinhala Ravaya Organisation.
