The citizens of Sri Lanka are enjoying their right to peaceful freedom of expression and are a credit to the country’s democracy, says Canadian High Commissioner David Mc Kinnon.
He made this statement via a twitter post yesterday (07).
“Over the past weeks, the demonstrations across Sri Lanka have overwhelmingly involved citizens enjoying their right to peaceful freedom of expression, and are a credit to the country’s democracy. It’s hard to understand why it is necessary, then, to declare a state of emergency,” the tweet mentioned.
