This is a military chopper flying close to the GGG while weapons are drawn. This is the time the International community need to pressure those who are in power to uphold people's will #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #GoHomeRanil #SriLankaCrisis #CrisisLK #අරගලයටජය

CEB chairman revealed that the reason for giving the Mannar wind plant project to @AdaniOnline is that @PMOIndia is using his political authority to pressure @GotabayaR . This proves that @narendramodi is not serving #Indians but serving corrupt businessmen like Adani. #SriLanka

39 years ago, @RW_UNP 's uncle's goons ignited a racial riot on #Tamils that lasted for 6 days. In it, 3,000+ killed, 5,000+ shops destroyed, 150,000+ displaced, 500+ raped & 500,000+ fled the island. He used that to ban JVP & other leftist parties. #lka #SriLanka #BlackJuly

Two #Muslim countries aid the man who forcefully cremated Muslims in #SriLanka during #COVID19 to flee without accountability. @MDVinSriLanka @UAEEmbColombo , @HamdanMohammed , you should be ashamed of yourselves. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #GoHomeRanil #SriLankaProtests

I think it is time for people to stop doing small scales protests everywhere & organize one massive one. Something like Occupy Wall Street, Orange Revolution, Indian Farmer's Protest. This government won't listen to people otherwise. #lka #SriLanka #Resist #EconomicCrisisLK

5 days passed, and still, no one was arrested over the #killing of #Lakshan . There is more than enough evidence to charge the police officer who gave the order to shoot at the unarmed protesters. Where is the #justice ? Where is the rule of #law ? #JusticeForLakshan #SriLanka #lka

We are here to exercise our fundamental right to protest. We were peacefully protesting yesterday & police came & unleash violence on us. We are here to condemn that. - Swasthika #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeRanil #RightToProtest #StopOppressionLK #PoliceBrutalityLK #අරගලයටජය

This is @jacindaardern prime minister of #NewZealand 🇳🇿. She assumed office when she was 37 & brought her country forward as a model state that is respected by the whole world. Our people think you need to be old & wise to be a state leader. #lka #SriLanka #politics #GoHomeRanil

Something I noticed in the #GoHomeGota protest is an increased number of women's participation. They are very vocal and very enthusiastic about it. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeRajapakses #Equality #GotaGoHome #SriLankaProtests #SriLankaCrisis #පන්නමු
