About ten Police trucks believed to have been deployed in dissolving the anti-government protest were parked near Galleface this (16) this morning.
Since yesterday, revelations were made by media, including us, that the government was planning to dissolve the anti-government protest held at Galleface, following which the parking of Police trucks near the premises had aroused the suspicion of the people. Accordingly, a strong objection was building up on Social Media against the move.
However, these trucks have been removed from the place and sent back.
Meanwhile, the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) in a statement told the government that the right to stage peaceful demonstrations is protected by the Constitution of Sri Lanka and the peaceful protest held at Galleface, therefore, must not be hampered.
