Sri Lanka marks first anniversary of “Aragalaya” People’s Movement! (PHOTOS)

Date:

Colombo (LNW): Devastated by economic downfall and exhausted by political hypocrisy, a year ago the citizens of Sri Lanka took their voice to the streets and assembled themselves as the “Aragalaya” People’s Movement, and on a historic day, July 09, 2022, hundred thousands of people from all over Sri Lanka marched to Colombo demanding the stepping down of former Head of State Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his regime.

Today (July 09) Sri Lanka marks the first anniversary of the “Aragalaya” People’s Movement and civil activists and concerned individuals held a protest near the Parliament roundabout in Pitakotte this afternoon.

The protest was organised by the Socialist Youth Union (SYU).
