Sri Lanka's Prevention of Organised Crimes Bill has faced 20 petitions in the Supreme Court challenging its constitutionality, Deputy Speaker Rizvi Salih told Parliament. Filed under Article 121, these petitions question the bill introduced on October 20. Rights groups warn the bill could undermine fundamental rights and enable abuses like arbitrary detention and torture, similar to existing counterterrorism laws.
