<\/u>* 07 water canons, 09 riot police units, roadblocks manned by tri-forces and STF<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

* Police surveillance teams and camera units to film demonstrations <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

* Intelligence via SIS, special police WhatsApp Group RoadBlock\/Col.Central <\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/u><\/u>Extensive security plans and protocols to protect President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in the wake of massive public demonstrations planned for Saturday morning in the capital Colombo have been leaked, revealing sinister orders to police filming units and surveillance teams to record and monitor leaders of the aragalaya and the intelligence networks that will be operational in the area during the protest. <\/u>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/u>The orders dated July 7, 2022 have gone out to all DIGS, SSPs, SPs and ASPs and police divisions, signed by SSP Nishantha Chandrasekera (Colombo Central Division). <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u>SSP Chandrasekera’s preamble states that the main objective of the deployment of a massive security contingent and riot control operations is “to ensure the safety of His Excellency the President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and to take necessary precautions in this regard.”<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>Secondary to this goal is the police intention to prevent damage to government buildings and public property. \u00a0 <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>The leaked document also makes clear that the Police Department fully anticipated the issuing of court orders that would have enabled security forces to set up at least six new roadblocks that would prevent the entry of demonstrators into the entire Colombo Fort area. However, on Thursday (7) the Fort Magistrate refused to issue orders preventing the protests. <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>Chandrasekera\u2019s deployment plan reveals that film crews attached to the Crime Record Division will be mobilised at Saturday\u2019s demonstration. The film crews will be assisted by special surveillance teams deployed around the agitation sites, the document shows. <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>SSP Chandrasekera orders all of his officers to stay tuned into a Whatsapp Group titled RoadBlock\/Col.Central for intelligence reports. He also provides a list of telephone numbers for various intelligence commanders who will be in charge of intel delivery to police on duty in the Fort area on Saturday (9). <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>The leaked police documents identify \u201cpotential threats\u201d as follows: <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>1. Protests, rallies and disruptive activities that could cause inconvenience to the President and the Government. <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

2. Rallies and demonstrations held to fulfill narrow political agendas. <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

3. Activities by extremist groups<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

4. Illegal activities by protestors at the protest site <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

5. Arson attacks, damage to property <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

6. Obstruction of roads and pavements <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

7. Obstruction of police personnel on duty <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

8. Provocative actions during peaceful protest<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u>To serve our readers and for the safety of those who will participate in the protests on Saturday, Colombo Telegraph translated the salient sections of SSP Chandrasekera\u2019s deployment orders. That translation follows below. <\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n
