Police disrupt the lives and livelihoods. Politicians play nice game using tri forces and police. People should understand and play a nice drama to bring Nandasena and other corrupt politicians and officials behind bars....

Suppressing our right to protest isn't advisable when we are looking to the international community for help, why would they send any money with dictators in power

Why don't the police take strict action against these rascals who violate the democracy, instead of joining hands with these dictators.

India Will Not Allow Riots in Sri Lanka Friday, 08 July 2022 09:08 PM

Name a single country in West Europe or North America where the government sat idly by and permitted demonstrations and occupations on a daily basis with the loud and clear intention to bring the down the government. I am not supporting the corrupt Rajapaksas nor their protector called Ranil, but the sad reality is if the intensity of the demonstrations reach critical mass then Gotta will be expected by India, to use the Police and the Military and crush the agitations comprehensively within 24 hours.

Afraid of the people coming in the dark to be rid of Dr Frankenstein monster. The government is truly afraid of the truth.

There is no such law, there is no emergency or threats to normal life, except peaceful non violent protests. Hence curfew is invalid and illegal. There is a court order that peaceful demonstrations are allowed and the police cannot impose a police curfew. This is only a gimmick to mislead and create fear and doubt in people.

WE HAVE A MAD POLICE DIVISION JUST LIKE THE MAD LEADER. THE PROTESTORS WILL BREAK THE CURFEW. FIRST THEY TRIED TO GET A COURT ORDER TO STOP THE PROTEST, AND NOW A CURFEW. IF THE COURT SEE IT FIT TO ALLOW PROTESTS, WHY THE HELL IS THE POLICE CONCERNED AND TRYING TO PREVENT. HAS GOTA GONE INTO HIDING ALREADY?

There is nothing called a police curfew. We have idiots in the police. That is why the country has gone to the dogs with a bloody dog at the helm.
