Courts will not see inmates arriving today from three major detention facilities. Prison authorities have officially notified court officials about the sudden disruption.

According to the Prisons Media Spokesperson, the move was taken because of an outbreak of measles among prisoners.

The decision directly impacts prisoners held at the Colombo Remand Prison, Welikada Prison, and Magazine Prison.

Authorities confirmed that none of the inmates from these three institutions will be produced before courts today due to health concerns.
