Freedom of expression proved essential to 🇱🇰 current transition. Hard to see how restricting it severely can help in finding solutions to the current political and economic crises.
If there is any fascist in this country, he is speaking in this video. This man is trying to hold on to power, whatever the cost is. If he wanted to appoint a president with the speaker's support, he had two months to do so.

This fictional quote has always been true. We just forgot that the people of the North were also citizens, just like us. #SriLankaCrisis#GoHomeGota2022
In 1996 my cousin, soon after she left home to sit for A/L exam, was knocked down by one of these & died on e spot while her mother was still watching her leave. Remember Krishanthi: e school kid who was gang-raped & murdered by @Sri_Lanka_Army? She was abducted on her way home
Right now, the vast majority of people are getting poorer day by day. Just imagine if we didn't have free #healthcare, how they would survive? If we didn't have free #education, how would their children learn? What we need to do is strengthen them, not sell them.

Nandasena's military regime. Stationing APCs in and around fuel stations to suppress public outcry while thousands are deprived of the 'luxury' of earning daily wage.
Aren't we a miserable generation to sit and watch these comedies taking place ?

It's with absolute pleasure (& exhaustion) that @deshan10 & I share our book "#KaputuKaak: A Very Sri Lankan Struggle".
This protest & civic education book for kids is in solidarity with the #GotaGoHome2022 aragalaya: https://t.co/8gpTkmwcZS
Please read & share for free! 1/8
When people talk about the "right way" to protest, they don't mean the most effective way. In fact, ironically, they mean the opposite. They mean to protest in the least effective way: that which inconveniences no one, and does nothing.
Hey @kanchana_wij why not increase 95 Octane fuel to like Rs 650/lt?
That’s only for high end vehicles. If you can afford that you can afford to pay a bit more to help keep other prices low.
@ChandaniKirinde@easwaranrutnam@munza14 Last time I checked journalists too have a right to engage in protests. Isn't it the case now? Also since you too are a journalist shouldn't you be out there reporting these incidents rather that providing your opinion here.
You know what benefits criminals most? Allowing 1.5M customer records to circulate amongst them without notifying the victims. This is just an appallingly irresponsible response that goes against every piece of good data breach response advice.
@h_liyan LOL, What I cannot understand is what are they trying to achieve by doing that. They would get a lot of reach for sure, but I highly doubt that they would be effective in any way.
@sldeuk@thehillsonfire @HansikaHK @sldeuk Can you please elaborate what other low cost sources of animal protein Sri Lanka mothers can use to feed their children?
5 days passed, and still, no one was arrested over the #killing of #Lakshan. There is more than enough evidence to charge the police officer who gave the order to shoot at the unarmed protesters. Where is the #justice? Where is the rule of #law?
