7)Argument is not that politicians should suffer but that no one should suffer, and that criminal justice system needs to be fixed. The plea is for people to see dysfunctionalities of system and understand how it discriminates based on privilege and class and should be reformed.

Sri Lankas fragmented political opposition is rapidly rallying around the arrest of Ranil Wickremesinghe. The NPP government now faces the enormous task of further arrests, especially the Rajapaksas, while anticipating a strong elite counter-reaction & managing the economic front

Protest is a right of democratic politics, but this is just so bizarre. Chants of "Go home Anura!" and "Pissek!" make it almost like a parody. So many questions - why was Ishwara Deiya's wife there? Is this their idea of what the masses say? And who on earth is Wasantha Greton?

Point 👇🏽 The reason the NPP was rewarded electorally by the public is their frustration with the ruling classes. But close to a year in office, those in power are going down the same road, less blatantly than their predecessors but for sure the same way ft.lk/ft_view__edito…

Two men once in power. Two men disgraced. In a striking comparison between Ranil Wickremesinghe and Boris Johnson, Dr Thurairajah plumbs the depths of their hubris and its consequences #SriLanka #UK polity.lk/ruben-thuraira…

Burning buildings in Napal (🇳🇵) is a ‘response to state violence,’ but Tamils resisting 70+ years of oppression were ‘enemies of the state’? When others do it, it’s terrible; when your own does, it’s patriotic. Perfect logic. The South never disappoints.
