Now more than ever, exercise caution.
DO NOT incite violence, DO NOT support it nor engage in violence.
Temporary emotions will result in permanent harm and loss of life.
Your emotions might subside but you can never bring back the dead.
Think smart - stay safe 🙏🏽

(1/3) Recovering stolen assets is a major topic of conversation at the moment in Sri Lanka.
This is a brief explainer on how Sri Lanka can recover stolen assets, who has to take action to get it done and how long it takes.

How do you find the strength to carry on at the age of 12 when your oxygen is taken away daily?
That’s how it felt for me when the #Srilankan army shot my brother for being at the wrong place, age 17, took his body & tortured my father for 8 months for asking the body to grieve
“Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.” Please let us stop this violence. Let us get together to save our beloved nation.
Hi guys, I am okay. The situation outside Temple Trees back entrance not pleasant. My live stream was interrupted and I was surrounded by protestors who didn’t want the media there. I had to take shelter w/Air Force outside TT and couldn’t get out. 1/
Last Picture I took with Journalist @roelraymond at 16:30. She went to Temple Trees & Apparently as per her family, She is Missing!

This is our 1983 people.
I'm so angry I'm shaking. If you want to know what Tamil people's grouse was, examine your feelings now. Feel the hatred. But don't act on it.
Enough of this shit. Every community has now been violently oppressed by the State. Enough!
How am I expected to get back to focus on my work, when the country is burning, our people are being hammered, my friends are out there somewhere and the "protectors" of our country can be paid off by a few bottles of arrack just to stand against us. How do we get on with our day
Current developments hurt my heart. What used to be an example of a well-functioning democracy – people peacefully exercising their right to free speech - has turned into tense confrontation. I call on all sides for calm and restraint. Violence is no solution, to neither side!
When I studied "Big Match 1983 by Yasmine Gunaratne" for English literature, I never expected a situation of that sort to be in our beloved country again. Today is a sad day indeed. Actions of people and polticians have come a full circle. Bless 🇱🇰

I worked my ass off for the past two years, worked two jobs in parallel, took up freelance gigs, saved 70% of my income to ensure that I built some sort of responsible future for myself.
And now, you’re telling me that my country’s government fucked it all up for me? Brilliant.
