‘Stop Repression!’…

November 2, 2022  

 

 

Police blocked hundreds of protesters who were attempting to march to the Colombo Fort railway station on Wednesday (02) to demand the release of two detained protest leaders and an end to a government crackdown on demonstrations against an economic crisis that has engulfed the island. The protesters, including opposition lawmakers and trade union and civil rights activists, also urged the government to abolish a harsh anti-terror law under which the two student protest leaders have been held for more than two months.
