On the topic of unverified news that is picked up, circulated and *importantly* causes irreversible harm, here's a short thread on how the media depicted an innocent man who was arrested and detained under the PTA after the Easter Sunday Attacks.

Thank you to the Colombo Philharmonic Choir for a beautiful preview of Such Stuff As Dreams at Westminster House last week. Delighted to have supported an evening celebrating music, creativity & the enduring cultural ties between 🇬🇧 & 🇱🇰.

Made me a bit sad to see her term her captaincy as a failure. In an ideal world, the greatest female cricketer produced by Sri Lanka would not have been burdened with captaincy for close to a decade. In an ideal world, she would’ve had the freedom to go out there and JUST PLAY.

Muralitharan approaches with his regular action here, but at the final moment, he subtly changes the grip and produces a perfect leg spin delivery. 🤯

Sri Lanka’s Brito Fernando returns to an emotional welcome with Swedish government's international award for human rights and democracy - the Per Anger prize 2026 - presented to him for the work done by Families of the Disappeared.

'How will attitudes change if students like me aren’t taught the truth about British colonial history?' asks year 13 student Astrid Barltrop in this sharp piece where she also quotes Sri Lanka-born British writer Ambalavaner Sivanandan https://t.co/LzReujDhNN

Gotabaya Rajapaksa: The Sri Lankan President's Role in 1989 Mass Atrocities PART 1🧵

Former Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa appeared before the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption in Colombo last week, where he gave a statement as part of an ongoing investigation into the unlawful allocation of housing units in a residential complex to certain indiviuals. Alongside these corruption investigations, Rajapaksa continues to face serious allegations linked to Sri Lanka’s armed conflict and the JVP insurgency in the 1980s.

What do horses🐎 have to do with Royal Thomian tents?

As we head into the 3rd and final day of the 147th Battle of the Blues, here's a short video of the different tents you see in the encounter and it's unusual connection to the equestrian theme!

Safe to say, the best performance by a Sri Lankan during this year's World Cup was when AKD got the IndPak match back on track.

Mantive, nesta quinta-feira (19), encontro bilateral com o presidente do Sri Lanka, @anuradisanayake. Conversamos sobre os cenários econômicos de nossos países, e constatamos que o comércio bilateral de 188 milhões de dólares registrado em 2025 permanece em patamar inferior ao recorde de 210 milhões de dólares alcançado em 2016. Nossas equipes irão construir uma pauta abrangente de cooperação, incluindo os setores de turismo, agricultura e comércio. Convidei o presidente Anura Kumara Dissanayake a visitar o Brasil em data a ser futuramente acordada por nossos canais diplomáticos 🇧🇷🤝🇱🇰

White man tells brown man actually you know nothing about racism.

A tale as old as time.

I’ve been building tech my whole life, but moments like this feel like a punch to the gut.

We can publish all the digital roadmaps we want, but if citizens still suffer like this, then we’re not transforming anything.

Sri Lanka had multiple “AI conferences” in the last few months. We talk about innovation, startups, “the future”… yet the present still looks like this. Progress isn’t conferences.

Heartbreaking. And absolute respect to this lady for her courage and humanity. She showed more leadership than many with titles.

He got a second chance in his Test career to keep wickets in place of Kumar Sangakkara, and finished with 156 dismissals behind the stumps with the record highest total of 726/9 without conceding any byes!

Do these morning radio hosts get some special incentive for sharing their misogyny live on air? Every single morning, I habitually wince or cringe no matter what station.
