@itjpsl @HRCSriLanka #PTA is a terrible law, it should be repealed as per @anuradisanayake election promise. It should not be used to arrest, detain #Sallay, #Sankeethan, #NadunChinthaka (#HarakKata) or anyone. Using PTA undermines credibility of investigations, prosecutions & justice for aggrieved

[Zahran Careem @zahranc]

We expected NPP MPs to stand with victims. Instead, Lakmali Hemachandra chose the side of a rapist over a defenseless child. Disgusting! #ShameOnYou

[Dinidu de Alwis @dinidu]

The continued detention of Brig Suresh Sallay under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) is wholly unacceptable. If overwhelming evidence exists as the state claims, then charge. If not, let out on bail. This normalisation of detention with minimal judicial oversight must stop.

If the CID is reporting Wimal, Dilith and Gammanpila to court for interfering with Easter day terror attack investigation by making public comments , then isn’t this priest doing the same thing and shouldn’t he be reported too?

For how long more are we going to keep these genocidal Israelis into Sri Lanka @anuradisanayake @Dr_HariniA @HMVijithaHerath??

@shiharaneez Even without China links, our apparel rubber and leather exports are manufactured with forced labour. Check how many of those factories have allowed FR of workers to organise or join a TU.

I called the number and was informed that this is a genuine service.

[Perera K @Cokroach]

Were invitations to @HMVijithaHerath to tour #NewZealand & #Australia from 26May-03June Official invitations from d 2 countries? If so what official bi-lateral meetings would he attend? @AzzamAmeen @Dinouk_C @BasnayakeM @BuduMalli #lka

I don't care about Pauline. I care that an Australian citizen has spoken publicly about being raped by the IDF and NOT ONE Australian Government Labor politician has said a word out about this. There's nothing worse. Nothing.

How can @LECO_LK a company dissolved by p'ment Act No.36 of 2024 almost 03 months ago continue issuing electricity bills? Since 10 March 2026, there's no such legal entity in #lka

@Dailymirror_SL What's not smuggled and not scammed here in Sri Lanka?

[Lihini Fernando @LihiniFernando]

When there is prima facie evidence, selective application of the law and external influence over justice(if any) will only continue to destroy public confidence in the system. Sri Lanka can never truly prosper if Law & Order is not applied equally and fearlessly against every individual, regardless of status, position, religion, or influence.

A robe does not make a man immune from accountability. Behind every robe is still a human being, subject to the same law as every other citizen. A religious title cannot become armour to shield wrongful acts. What is wrong remains wrong, no matter who commits it.

චිවරයට යටින් සිටින්නේ මිනිසකුය. ඒ මිනිසා නිතියට යටත් විය යුතුය. අදින ඇදුම මත කිසිවකුට නිතිය ඉදිරියේ අමුතු ගෞරවයක් අත්විය යුතු නැත. එබැවින් 'සංඝ’ යනු දහම අවබෝධ කරගත් පැවැද්දා හෝ ගිහියා මිස හුදු චිවරයක් ඇගලයා ගත් මිනිසා නොවන්නේය.

බුදු දහම ආරක්ෂා වන්නේ ධර්මය මත පිහිටා ක්‍රියා කරන අය තුල මිස, චිවරය ඇද සිටින අය ආරක්ෂා කිරීම මත නොවන්නේය.

If we as a society fail to rise and unequivocally condemn such a barbaric and uncivilized act against a child, then we are collectively failing the very values of humanity, justice, and protection we claim to uphold.

Today it is someone else’s child. Tomorrow, it could be yours. And there may already be countless victims continuing to suffer in silence, afraid to speak because of power, fear, stigma, or influence.

The true test of a State is whether it has the courage to protect the vulnerable over the powerful. If the Government and institutions entrusted with justice cannot rise above politics, influence, and selective protection to safeguard innocent citizens from abuse and exploitation, then society itself risks descending into lawlessness, fear, and moral decay.

No religion teaches the abuse of children. No faith condones protecting perpetrators over victims.

Justice must prevail, fully, equally, and without fear or favour.
