A few people in Sri Lanka occasionally try to flee to neighboring countries by sea. They continue to be arrested by the Navy.
But most continue to protest against the Sri Lankan government. Because of the great economic crisis in Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan government is in an uncontrollable state.
In this context, the state of emergency was declared again in Sri Lanka last Friday. Yet protests continue despite the declaration of a state of emergency.
Various orders have been issued to the police to stop the protest. It has been reported that Sri Lankan government doctors are also involved in the struggle.
Shortages of pharmaceuticals in Sri Lanka have increased sharply as the economic situation worsens. Sri Lankan government doctors are protesting at the Jaffna hospital premises demanding a solution to the health problem. The US and EU have strongly condemned the declaration of a state of emergency in Sri Lanka.
