The curfew announced by the government continues in Sri Lanka, which is reeling from the financial crisis. The government has announced a curfew until 6 a.m. on Monday, April 4. The government’s decision comes in the wake of calls for an Arab model strike on Sunday, April 3. The government action comes after several protests in Sri Lanka turned violent due to shortage of basic necessities. Opposition groups called for the beleagured PM to resign.
Anuruddha Bandara, the administrator of a social media group that campaigned for the resignation of Sri Lankan President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, has been taken into police custody. The father said that his son was abducted by the police and now he does not know where Anuruddha is. Meanwhile, the government has banned social media in the country. Social media, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and WhatsApp, are banned.
The Rajapaksa family in power in Sri Lanka fears that the people will overthrow them in a protest similar to the Jasmine Revolution in the Arab world. The Rajapaksa brothers are in power in Sri Lanka. The ruling party, the main ally of the government, the Freedom Party, has stated that it will leave the ruling coalition. The Freedom Party, led by former Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena, has 14 MPs. The recent sacking of two allied ministers has caused a stir in the ruling coalition.
Sri Lanka is facing a severe shortage of food and medicine. The Sri Lanka Bar Council and other human rights groups have called for the immediate lifting of the state of emergency declared in Sri Lanka. There are reports that more protests will intensify in the country in the coming days.
