🇱🇰#SriLanka The protesters – who enjoy widespread support – do not simply want the president to step down; they are calling for accountability and justice for his mismanagement, corruption and human rights abuses that have persisted for decades. 1/.

Visit 🇱🇰 #SriLanka!.Dear world, Sri Lanka's peaceful protesters have opened up all the places they breached for public display & tourism. This is a unique form of tourism. Bring your bicycle 🚴♂️ & come on holiday. The streets are empty as we have no fuel. You can take trains. 1/

The bottom line with the Head to Head interview is that . 1) a foreign journalist dared to ask RW about Batalanda without being scared of disappearing for asking that question. He even mentioned Vincent Fernando making RW look pale. This is a historical milestone.

He is the brightest amongst us. Struggled in life to get to where he was thanks to free education which he continues to defend to date for all of us. Today the Ranil-Rajapaksa Government has framed him as a terrorist. This will come to bite all of us if we don't speak up now. 1/

Dear @Davud_Akh, .Today you tweeted about a tourist taking a selfie at Nine Arch Bridge wearing a fish net bikini. You asked locals to call the police if someone is shirtless.Some of us responded.A few hours later I noted that you deleted your tweet. Here's a glimpse of it. 1/
@Davud_Akh With all due respect,we Sri Lankans don't police others even though some people are uptight about what others wear.That's why a lady who had a Buddha tattoo got arrested once & another lady with the dress print of the steering wheel of a ship (confused as ☸️ in Buddhism). 1/.

I’m amazed with the fact that how Sri Lanka is quite different from India. I wasn’t expecting it. There is less poverty, things are very clean even when you’re traveling on budget, they don’t honk like crazy in traffic, no garbage, clean painted railway stations with flowers.
