2026年2月11日, 斯里兰卡甘巴哈高等法院判处12人死刑, 罪名是2022年国会议员Amarakeerthi Athukora及其安全官员在与国内经济危机相关的暴力抗议中遭杀害。 On February 11, 2026, Sri Lanka’s Gampaha High Court sentenced 12 men to death for the 2022 killing of lawmaker Amarakeerthi Athukorala and his security officer during violent protests tied to the country’s economic crisis. 袭击发生在2022年5月9日，地点为尼坦布瓦，受害者的车辆被人群阻挡;警方称，他们向抗议者开枪后被追赶并在一栋建筑内击毙。 The attack occurred on May 9, 2022, in Nittambuwa when the victims’ vehicle was blocked by a crowd; police said they fired shots at protesters before being chased and killed inside a building. 法院判定42名最初被起诉的嫌疑人中的12人有罪,判处4人缓刑6个月,并因证据不足而宣告23人无罪。 The court convicted 12 of 42 initially indicted suspects, handed four suspended six-month sentences, and acquitted 23 due to insufficient evidence. 判决源于动荡时期,其特点是大范围动乱、推翻高塔巴亚·拉贾帕克塞总统以及随后在拉尼尔·维克雷马辛哈总统领导下的经济复苏努力。 The verdict stems from a turbulent period marked by widespread unrest, the ouster of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, and subsequent economic recovery efforts under President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
