Gigantic Junta family clan that has hijacked Sri Lanka’s constitution has gone absolutely mad.
Blocking of Colombo Telegraph is a sign of their insanity.
More imporantly their utter stupidity, nervoursness & weakness.
Not to mention the blatant disregard of the law governing meida in a modern, democratic, open society Sri Lanka has alwasys aspired to become. Now for over 60 years.
Only to be taken backwards again and again by corrupt, power hungry blood sucking, “politicians”. Chosend by the dumb Sri Lankan electorate. In openly rigged “elections” each time.
May God bless our country.
Cheers!

If Gigantic Junta family clan would have allowed CT to function in Sri Lanka and read it’s Journalists and academics Articles and read it’s readers comments,Junta would have suceeded in winning the UNHRC vote by now.
By Blocking CT clearly shows that Junta is taking Sri Lanka towards another North Korea.
Please see the following webs.
