Many protestors were assaulted by the military at GGG, including Lahiru Weerasekera, BBC journalist - Jerine Samuel, Rasika Gunawardena, lawyer - Chamara Jayasinghe, Faizan Ahmad & Shabeer Mohamed. Why strike like a coward at 1am Ranil?

Article 14 of the Constitution: (1) Every citizen is entitled to – (a) the freedom of speech & expression...; (b) the freedom of peaceful assembly; (h) the freedom of movement... Peaceful protest is very much a part of our constitutional rights. 1/4

Supplies are needed at #GotaGoGama. All roads are blocked except for Baladaksha Mawatha.

Ranil doesn’t own the IMF negotiations. Remember that negotiations started way before he became the Prime Minister. IMF negotiate with the government, not with Ranil on individual basis. So Ranil becoming the President isn’t a deciding factor for an IMF program.

The world is experiencing one of the largest COVID waves of the pandemic, and it’s fueled by the Omicron BA.5 subvariant, the most contagious and most immune-evasive coronavirus strain yet. In Sri Lanka also hospitalizations will likely keep going up in the current BA.5 wave.

BA.5 has the same key L452R mutation that the Delta variant had. We all know what happens when delta was here with us. 1. Get your booster 2. Mask up at least indoors 3. Test if you are symptomatic

Folks in #lka: I’m looking for an admin person for WatchDog. Someone meticulous, capable of managing the paper trails, finance tracking and project managing a bunch of chaotic researchers. Pay is Rs 290k-ish, pegged to the dollar.

Leopold of Belgium ruled Congo as his private property for 23 years. He cut off the limbs of Congolese who did not meet their daily quota on the plantation. At the end of his rule, he had killed 15million Congolese people. But we are taught only about Hitler.

I asked this in February. Yesterday the National Medicines Regulatory Authority said that yet another medicine, Rituximab, in addition to human immunoglobulin, was granted issued a "forged" waiver of registration. And the drug was distributed. It's worse than anyone predicted.

Incredibly messed up report from Thanamalwila of a 16-year-old girl raped by 22 boys. There is something so broken and rotten entrenched deep in Sri Lankan culture that enables this type of horrific violence and hatred of women, and protects perpetrators. dailymirror.lk/breaking_news/…
