By Colombo Telegraph –
As at 7.30 a.m., hundreds of goons have been brought by the Government near the Courts. Hundreds of Policemen have been deployed. It appeared that the government is planning to block the protest at the very beginning.
Anton Marcus, the Convenor of the ‘Citizens’ and Trade Union Collective for Judicial Independence’ said; “We strongly protest the government’s action in organising mobs against the peaceful protest march called by the Lawyers’ Collective in demanding that the illegal impeachment motion be withdrawn from parliamentary debate.”

Good start. We need to continue and sustain the movement until this criminal govt is brought to its knees. The power of the people can achieve this backed by the clergy, intellectals and proffessionals.

It is time for other Professionals, trade unions, law abiding citizens and even religious dignitaries to join hand at this crucial hour to show their protest to MR & Co. to folow the democratic traditions that prevail in the Western democratc countries and not to follow the path that prevails in Libya, Egypt, Syriya and Iran.

Legitimate terror government? Does this remind this of Sadam Hussain? Brothers sons wives girlfriends all thugs?
