Government blocked social media following a series of\u00a0attacks on\u00a0Mosques and Muslim-owned properties by unified mobs.<\/p>\n

Six mosques have been targeted in a string of violent attacks overnight and into the morning.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“3 mosques, 1 jumma mosque and 2 small mosques were attacked and pillaged in Kiniyama, Bingiriya in Kurunegala District while curfew was in place this early morning 13.05.2019,\u00a0President’s Counsel\u00a0Mohamed Ali Sabry wrote on his Facebook.<\/p>\n

Ali Sabry who is vocal against\u00a0radical Islamists wrote:<\/p>\n

“This is how a Muslim has seen this ?<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

?<\/span><\/span>curfew -> STF protection-> Destroying a particular group’s properties-> some time power cuts as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

?<\/span><\/span>Great security authorities who defeated two terrorisms become just spectators front of the Mobs with stones.<\/em><\/p>\n

?<\/span><\/span>Same mobs move to adjacent towns as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

We have seen the same drama in Alutgama, Gintota and Digana as well.\u00a0Unfortunately the powers given by emergency state is enough only to shoot a driver who doesn’t stop at the checkpoint.<\/em><\/p>\n

Victims are to be arrested not the mobs.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“This is getting out of hand. Enough racism. It\u2019s not going to solve the issues but further escalate it,” <\/em>he further wrote.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Police curfew has been imposed in the Kuliyapitiya, Bingiriya, Dummalasuriya and Hettipola Police Divisions as of 2pm today till 4am tomorrow.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
