On Monday (09), government supporters clashed violently with protesters in Colombo outside the Prime Minister’s Office in Temple Trees, and then at the main protest site at Galle Face Green. Police and riot squads were deployed, and tear gas and water cannon were fired at government supporters after they breached police lines and attacked protesters using sticks and poles. Angry demonstrators retaliated, attacking government supporters and targeting ruling party politicians. (Pic By – Sanjeewa Lasantha)
