Not sure when this pic was clicked but seems like former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is enjoying his days while a nation of 22 million people faced the worst hardships this year due to his mismanagement.
#SriLanka
This's happening right now in Colombo- Security forces in #SriLanka raided the main anti-government protest camp & have begun pulling down tents. 100s of troops moved on the protesters outside the presidential offices, hours before they were due to leave the area. @anbarasanethi
@USAmbSL@RW_UNP What do you think about attacking unarmed protesters within 24 hours of being appointed? In a background where the security forces have been informed that the peaceful protestors have decided to withdraw from it tomorrow, I condemn with disgust the inhuman attack .
Hearing what is happening at the Galle Face protest site. Not sure why this is happening now. It is crucial the authorities act with restraint and avoid violence.
@RajapaksaNamal What is the image you are trying to maintain in a country that has gone bankrupt due to wrong decisions and wrong govern ? 🧐 isn’t this what happen ?
Plastic bottles and waste that were strewn across the road after being hit by tear gas and water canons now neatly collected at one place.
The people displaying obedience while demanding the same from the government. ✊🏽🇱🇰

How despicable is this? Tents containing food destroyed by police water cannon, tear gas attacks.
People don’t have to eat, and they are not being allowed to protest? What *would* authorities have them do? Is this a democracy? #srilanka#lka
Over the past weeks, the demonstrations across #SriLanka have overwhelmingly involved citizens enjoying their right to peaceful freedom of expression, and are a credit to the country’s democracy. It’s hard to understand why it is necessary, then, to declare a state of emergency.
Possible assault will launch against peaceful Sri Lankan protestors by Sri Lankan Government covering behind the emergency law which is to be imposed from midnight. Global Citizens and fellow Humans, We seek your help and Intervention like as soon as possible. Help Us. #UNHRC
