The physical assault and intimidation of Sunday Observer journalist Buaneka S. Perera by Presidential Media Advisor Chandana Suriyabandara in Dambulla is a shocking regression for press freedom.

As a journalist, I see a dangerous area emerging where state officials feel entitled to physically bully journalists and dictate who can report on public events. By claiming only "Sirasa" has the right to cover the peace march, Suriyabandara isn't just acting like a media advisor—he’s acting like a media gatekeeper for a private monopoly while drawing a state position.

If this is the "New Culture" of the NPP, then it’s one where accountability is silenced with a shove. The President must decide: is his media office there to facilitate information or to operate as a thuggish enforcement unit?

@Dear_Men_Life Pakistan is the ally of USA. It always has been. So all this talk is just rubbish.

In response to the #USA imposing an extra 10% tariff on Chinese goods, which many experts claim to be the strongest language #China has directed at the USA since @realDonaldTrump took office. (1/3)

People say they don't like federalism. But different laws applied in different towns, districts in Sri Lanka. Isn't that federalism!

‘Horrified’ by plight of Sri Lanka’s tea & rubber estate workers, says international tribunal. “It has shocked the conscience of the Tribunal that such practices could continue unabated in the modern civilised world,” it noted. 1/2

@thesaviour ISIS... They did ISIS too

[Aragalaya Sri Lanka @aragalayaSL]

ISIS... Where are they now? Don't you think that it is weird that they aren't doing anything when Palestinians are being exterminated? 🧐

@HumaZhr Butcher of Tehran

[Abier @abierkhatib]

It's a well-known fact by now that Israeli soldiers don't view Palestinians as human beings, but rather as targets, not just in Gaza, but also in the West Bank.
In case u want more proof.

[Pelham @Resist_05]

IDF soldiers go from house to house, ransacking them and making them unliveable…

This has nothing to do with finding hostages, or taking out Hamas…

THIS IS A GENOCIDE…🇵🇸💔

Egyptian film maker Youssef Chahine on “western civilization.”

“You could faint and drop dead in the streets of Europe and people would just walk away from you”

“Do you know how to love? Do you know how to care? That’s civilization.”

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

In Iran, if university students protest against genocide, they must endure police brutality, or be thrown in prison. Wait, sorry, no. This is America.

🇵🇸🇮🇱‼️🚨 WEST BANK: At any moment an Israeli soldier can come into your bakery and assault you.

While politicos on both sides were fretting on what’s happening in Gaza (so they should be) violations were taking place under their very noses and they couldn’t see it! Commemoration is a fundamental right.

[aisha @aishnazim]

Just got this from friends, who also confirmed it. Cross checked it a bit too.

A 'whites only' party in #SriLanka, by Israelis and Russians.

Now before you come at me with 'did you verify, irresponsible', yes I did you twat and a half. As always :p
