NewsCurry Breaking news and serving it up in pieces
A number of criminals currently behind bars have appealed to the Homagama Magistrates Court requesting the quick release of Gananasara Thera, after concern that their reputation will be tarnished from being forced to associated with him in prison.
The Prisoner’s Association said that they were still reeling from the news that the Thera was not granted bail, having done a hat collection over the last few days to drum up the required sum for his bail in the hope that he would be freed. However, they are now likely to spend a considerable time with the loud mouthed monk and are worried that their standing in the criminal community will be damaged.
One prisoner, who sent a message hidden in cake said, “First of all I asked for Love Cake, not this Butter Cake shit. So that is why I am returning it, but it also gave me a chance to send this message. Please send us ear plugs and headphones. Smuggle them inside Love Cake. We have been listening to this Gnanarasa fellow’s drivel on TV but felt we were sheltered from its direct impact here in prison. One fellow who was freed after 23 years refused to leave when he learned that this fellow had resurfaced in public. Now he wants to leave. Please keep that mad monk out there.”
Meanwhile, it has been reported that that the Thera has been kept in isolation in the prison hospital for fears that his insanity will spread through the ward. However the head consultant said there was nothing to worry about as the ward was already full of mental patients, otherwise known as crooked politicians.
