One month for the Galle Face protests!

The anti-partisan peaceful people’s protest at the Galle Face marks a month today.

The protests opposite the Presidential Secretariat commenced on the 9th of April and has continued day and night till today.

The public has since been gathering at Galle Face pledging their support to the indefinite protests.

In addition to the protests at Gota Go Gama, protests have been initiated at several other parts of the country as well, demanding the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, the government and the entire 225 Members of Parliament.

The public is repeatedly demanding the government to provide solutions to the economic and political crisis in the country.

Braving the heavy rains while holding placards, they have since been protesting in front of the Presidential Secretariat, repeatedly demanding solutions for the economic crisis and political turmoil in the country and the resignation of the President and the government.

The protesters also set up a small village at the Galle Face Green premises, providing free food, beverages, temporary accommodation, solar-powered electricity, emergency medical facilities and library facilities for those who arrive there in support of the demonstration.

Now, similar protest sites have been staged in many parts of the island.
