How come the partial damage to a single lantern cause so much hate comments in FB? Notice the message by students Union. This country never learns. When will the Govt take action under ICCPR ACT/ ONLINE SAFETY ACT.?
@RehanJayawick@anuradisanayake Song is technically a form of art and going against art is what JR JAYAWARDENE did best... Using law to control Art /creativity is a high risk act ..
Remember PAVANA..
Campaign against flotilla activist is despicable to a level unseen-thousand odd hate comments in most of the posts. Who are they? BOTs ? If so where is it originating from?Unbelievable to see the hate campaign launched on a damage to Vesak lantern.
Dear Anura. There are whole tsunamis of seemingly organised activity, full of outright hate and vitriol online. Just check the fb posts related to young Flotilla activist and Wesak Lantern damage in Jaffna UNI . They seem highly organised campaigns. WHEN WILL YOU TAKE ACTION ?
President @anuradisanayake has signed off on yet another PTA detention order. This time, 24-year-old musician A. Sathurshan has reportedly been remanded under the PTA over a song. Shameful behavior from a government that promised to repeal the PTA.

@tparsi Senate might not approve, given the 6 seat majority, but 33 senators face elections soon, so the public sentiment might make a dent. If passed then Trump has an escape from the trap he set himself. If not, it may bolster the democratic chances in the mid terms.
There were over 2000 mostly anti islamaphobic comments in some posts related to young Flotilla activist just last week.This week its going against Tamils. So many war related posts too contain plenty hate filled comments. Is Anura as naive as Ranil when it comes to social media?
Take immediate action to control spiraling hate comments in fb over the damage to Wesak Lantern in Jaffna University. How come hundreds of anti Tamil comments spring up in no time unless organised by a sinister force. NPP is naive at best in its management of narratives in fb.
Various actors , a lot of them dubious have literally taken control of publishing the war footage in fb. Whats far more disturbing is the slow rise of racialist comments in them. Sinister narratives on the rise in fb.
Allocate just ONE DAY per Week in ONE Magistrate Court in Every District. This is no difficulty. It will in no way disturb the other inquiries in MC. Every District has at least a few MCs.
Children must be protected above all else. Some people seem to think that speaking out against a Buddhist monk abusing a child equals promoting Muslim child marriage or staying silent on abuse within the Catholic church. I find all of this repulsive and despicable.
Ranil and M3 were too cocky against the rising tide of racism in 2014/15. They must ve thought of the securiyy of 5 million UNP /PA vote bank. 2 years later it was too late. NPP is making the very same mistake with party base of just 400000.
Admirable and courageous decision by council of the Malwatte Chapter. Justice shall hold its ground. The decision is a great example to our utterly despicable political culture where the ones rotten is allowed to stay, irrespective of the stench. Every party is guilty of it.
Govt must investigate hundreds of individusls in seemingly organised groups who made extremely racist commennts against the Srilankan activist. This kind of outright and open racism looks eerily similar to the wave of online racism in 2015 that eventually led to Digana horror.
Israel is a society on the edge. Stop exposing large numbers of Srilankans to this extreme country. Comments in social media against the flotilla activist seemingly by Srilankans who have been out there are very much disturbing.
@TheCradleMedia The most disgusting society on earth, a whole country full of Epsteins 🤢There is a high rate of sexual abuse and ridiculously low rates of conviction so just think about all the people that don’t bother to report their abuse. Shoshana Strook spoke up and then “committed suicide”
