Public Announcement by protesters to protestors💪🏾 “If anyone tries to cause any trouble, by even hitting you or shouting at you, DO NOT RETALIATE. If it worsens, inform the Police. Film everything. Do not drink water from unsealed bottles. Aragalayata Jaya Wewa✊🏾” #lka

A reminder, from a comrade living in the North. Racism, militarisation, livelihoods, the freedom to protest & a full humanity in this country are so deeply linked, under any government. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota

24 hours x 365 days x 5 years = 43,800 hours. That's how long Tamil families of the disappeared protested in the North for truth + justice for their loved ones. I know Galle Face is something unique, but please don't erase those families' years of struggle. #lka #SriLanka

Trained MH & psychosocial volunteers are at #GalleFaceProtest (next to SLRCS tent) to provide support for organisers and protestors. Do visit this tent if you want to discuss taking care of yourself & others during protests. 6°55'43.5"N 79°50'35.8"E goo.gl/maps/cd8gxMAQF…

THANK YOU for humanizing Mental Health

A couple of days ago, citizens of this country tried to remember their dead, and they couldn't. Is everyone equal in this country? Next year marks 15 years since the end of the war. Have we addressed the root cause of the conflict? Bhavani Fonseka | Newsfirst.lk Sri Lanka

1/Custodial deaths in #SriLanka continue due to impunity but where children who come into conflict with the law are concerned, there are several other issues which are ignored. Institutionalizing children should be last resort but in SL seems to be default/first response.
