💨 Abstract

A Sri Lankan Buddhist monk, Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara, was sentenced to nine months in prison and fined for Islamophobic comments made in 2016 by the Colombo Magistrate's Court. This sentence was due to his failure to appear in court. In 2018, he was arrested for contempt of court but later received a presidential pardon.
