Anti-hate protest in Colombo…

A peaceful protest march was held from the Nelum Pokuna Roundabout to the Public Library roundabout, calling for an end to racism and religious hatred in the country. Protestors holding placards which read “hate has no place in Sri Lanka” and “racism stops with me” urged the people to make a commitment to end hatred and violence and to act against individuals spreading disharmony by reporting them to the police. A large number of religious leaders, politicians and activists joined in the protest. (Pic by Sanjeewa Lasantha)
