    Protesters did not come armed with stones or weapons. They were intentionally provoked.

    Nodrog Friday, 24 February 2012 11:36 AM

    Yes, I suppose the damage to the cut-out must have hurt the most.

    Ralph Anthony Friday, 24 February 2012 10:29 AM

    I hope the crimes committed by the Police should also e highlighted, as to how horse of the water cannons were directly targeted at civilians, causing injury, which is an offense as water cannon and tear gas canisters is prohibited from being sprayed on DIRECTLY SAT civilians.

    THIS IS WHAT YOU COLL DEMOCRACY ........................

    Thaha Muzammil Friday, 24 February 2012 10:05 AM

    They want to know who really caused damage to the CUTOUT.

    Engineer Friday, 24 February 2012 09:27 AM

    protesting is fine, as long as it doesn't interfere with other peoples lives or done on private property.

    vandalizing public property, causing mass derailment of local economies, preventing supply of goods and services is not protesting this is terrorism.

    I have seen in TV news, some police officers are collecting stones in JVP protest. Is court is going to investigate that too?

    WimalaS CYMA Friday, 24 February 2012 07:19 AM

    U never ever figured out the sensitivity.

    CYMAs Wimala Friday, 24 February 2012 07:13 AM

    Protests to support is democracy.

    Kornelius John Friday, 24 February 2012 05:17 AM

    Sri Lankan Democracy at work, ably supported by the "judiciary"!

    Gamaraala Friday, 24 February 2012 06:26 AM

    Bad timing when our human rights record is on world stage. This is a classic example where the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.

    Sadarana Kota Friday, 24 February 2012 06:10 AM

    First You come forward

    Ramakumar Friday, 24 February 2012 06:07 AM

    can the judge ask the media to provide source of new and to provide material collected for the purpose publishing in the media. If so all cases can be judged by the materials provided by media and public.

    Calistus Jayatilleke Friday, 24 February 2012 06:15 AM

    In other words, dont protest because the Big Brother is watching!

    Asitha Friday, 24 February 2012 06:14 AM

    What has happened to this country, Why this government suppress people like this , Dear our nation, come forward

    Calistus Jayatilleke Friday, 24 February 2012 06:14 AM

    The Police and even the courts are more than eage to take such actions only when opposition supporters are involved, while turning a blind eye to all atrocities committed by govenment members and their supporters. Time to give a different definition to this brand of Democracy: "By the idiots, for the idiots"

    Sadarana Kota Friday, 24 February 2012 05:54 AM

    Protesting is Democracy..Police Charging against the protestors is really bad and against de,ocracy.However protestors breaking the traffic lights,etc causing damages to public property is not acceptable....People who caused damages to public property should get punished..

    Tikshana Friday, 24 February 2012 05:59 AM

    Democracy does not mean the right to destroy public property and overthrow a legally elected government. Wait till the next elections if you are not happy.

    ravi Friday, 24 February 2012 05:18 AM

    Democracy???????
