While people were protesting in front of Temple Trees in Colombo last night (25) a large contingent of police riot squads was reportedly sent to the scene.
The riot police had taken about five buses to the spot and stopped the buses so that the pavement would be blocked and they would remain there.
The Kollupitiya Police had sought an order from the court yesterday to disperse the protesters in front of Temple Trees, but the Colombo Magistrate’s Court had rejected the request.
It was then sent the units of riot police squads to the protesters at night.
The protest, however, continues to be active.
