The Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka has issued interim recommendations on the incidents that occurred at Mahara Prison on 29th November 2020.

The recommendations have been sent to the Commissioner General of Prisons, Chief Justice, Attorney General, Inspector General of Police, Minister of Prison Reforms and Director General of Health Services.

The Commission said it commenced the inquiry on its own after seeing the media reports of several deaths of prisoners following prison unrest, serious injuries to prisoners and officers and two officers being held hostage.
