Sri Lanka court blocks Rajapaksa from acting as PM
A Sri Lankan court has issued an order blocking Mahinda Rajapaksa from acting as Prime Minister and holding cabinet meetings. The court was hearing a petition signed by 122 legislators that challenged Rajapaksa's authority to hold office after he lost two no-confidence votes last month. Rajapaksa was appointed by President Maithripala Sirisena after he sacked Ranil Wickremesinghe as PM.
