What is a 'public emergency' in #lka?

A devastating public health emergency for 2 years = no emergency declared

A crippling economic crisis for the past few months = no emergency declared

A country's leadership feels threatened by public protests = emergency declared!

President’s policy statement rejects racism and calls on politicians to stop inciting people against each other. Got a new word in my thesaurus, Gaslighting. Make a sentence: A President should not gaslight an entire nation.

@MigaraCabral Hi Migi

@pasanpw Haha it’s both! 😷😖

It is a matter for huge relief that this morally rotten version of Tamil nationalism is now even more of a lunatic fringe than it has ever been.

I don't know who needs to hear this BUT YOU ARE NOT LAZY IF YOU ARE WAKING UP AT NOON. I have spent hours with patients with delayed circadian sleep phase trying to destigmatize sleeping late and waking up late. 1/4

This is how the tusker at the Belanvila temple is being treated. His legs are stretched out and he's tied from all ends. He can hardly move his body. Is this what Buddha preached?

@himalkk Literally and figuratively.

@_koelmeyer Who do you think

[Maneesha Perera @maneebags]

@kataclysmichaos No.

[Gehan Gunatilleke @GehanDG]

Totally disgraceful lies spread by these newspapers!

Will @ECSriLanka take action?

Journalists & writers have been unfairly jailed in #lka for saying far less harmful things. In a climate of unjust, selective enforcement of speech laws, it is infuriating to see such impunity.

[Maneesha Perera @maneebags]

@pasanpw 💯 👏🏼

[Pasan Weerasinghe @pasanpw]

Despite all of the justifications provided by MY3, there's a reasons why this particular pardoning stinks. The murder wasn't a crime of passion as he states it to be. It was premeditated and particularly vile. The murderer was absolutely ruthless and was voluntarily intoxicated.

[Anura Kumara Dissanayake @anuradisanayake]

We strongly condemn President @MaithripalaS granting pardon to the convicted #RoyalPark murderer arbitrarily. It is a blow to the independence of the Judiciary of #SriLanka and a humiliation to the entire country. This bad precedent should never have happened.

[Mari @EmDeeS11]

The position of a #Quazi #judge is a state-funded, state-appointed judicial position under the #MoJ & the Quazi court system is funded by #lka taxpayers. It is the only ‘official’ judicial position that discriminates on the basis of sex. #WomenAsQuazis #MMDAreform @mplreforms

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Maithripala Sirisena: I must pardon a notorious murderer before I retire.
