Worldwide human rights teams have urged Sri Lanka’s new president to direct safety forces to stop using power in opposition to demonstrators after police cleared their most important camp.
1000’s of Sri Lankans have taken to the streets for months demanding the resignation of the pinnacle of the federal government over an financial disaster that has left the nation’s 22 million folks in need of gas and meals.
Armed troops raided a protest camp in entrance of the president’s workplace and attacked demonstrators with batons within the early hours of Friday, only a day after Ranil Wickremesinghewas sworn to Sri Lanka’s presidential seat.
