The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) today informed the Negombo Magistrate that police had shot the workers of Katunayake Free Trade Zone who protested against the proposed Pension Bill last Monday from three different directions.

Please look after these officers well. Don't let them commit suicide since it will be the end of the drama.
Bebadda Friday, 03 June 2011 01:19 PM
OPS rounded shooting? Seems they had come preapre for their pray? In a case only 4 directions and how do you feel when you round up and shoot.!! is it a execution?
Jay Ranaweera Friday, 03 June 2011 01:24 PM
When the Govt had already announced that the FREE TRADE ZONE EMPLOYEES ARE EXEMPTED FROM THE PROPOSED PENSION SCHEME, why did the workers simply followed JVPers advices and started agitating???
Strikers themselves are at fault.

Very well ordered !!
cris Friday, 03 June 2011 01:58 PM
Don't you get the point. They are going to say that police have not fired a single live bullet. But, some organized unruly elements have fired the protesters from behind to disrepute the government. IGP can take his post back. Lol...

Thrivida Hamudawa, Army, Navy and Police points to the same direction the "Govenment"
beau Friday, 03 June 2011 02:05 PM
Police may be in custody as a token face saving by MR but once the heat is off they will be released. If shots came from 3-directions, certainly the 2-directions where the police was not present might well have been covered by Mervyn Silva's thugs. It is unusual for Silva to keep quiet at a time like this, and I am sure the reason he is quiet is that he had a hand in the death of the young man.

Who will say the truth, nothing but the truth. No one!
PIPAA Friday, 03 June 2011 02:27 PM
Who ordered the shooting???? Why not magistrate inquire this?
bavanajohn Friday, 03 June 2011 02:39 PM
The police officer who involve and shot employees they must be arrested.
Banda Friday, 03 June 2011 02:44 PM
Do you think these police officers will be punished? The same people who gave the orders will rescue these officers from the back door and make them move upwards as a reward for their slience.

The most important is not the direction of shot. But who gave the direction to police to shoot.
Sicillian Friday, 03 June 2011 04:09 PM
Oh is it. I thought the government said its JVP. Police please check with the govt.

Should IGP ( who was to retire in few days ) resign on this issue...then how about the Sec Defense and the President who are supposed to maintain law and order. Can somebody enlighten me!
I Hussein Saturday, 04 June 2011 05:26 AM
The question is who gave them the firing order with live bullets. Retirement or a million wouldnt solve the matter.

police was totally helpless at that time.. surely they may have been got conflict orders..end result is "easily blaming on police"
Kafen DE kawe Friday, 03 June 2011 10:55 AM
Then what about the higher authorities who ordered them and no bail or mercy should be given at any cost

This order must have been given by HITLER
Dr.Wimal_Modawansa Friday, 03 June 2011 11:04 AM
Shooting was from three directions and the fourth direction is to run for their safety and escape.
sodasoda Friday, 03 June 2011 11:03 AM
Some of TV channel said JVP did it but now CID saying something else.

You are trying to connect this one also with racism.

Shot from three directions. Does that mean we do not know who shot the young man.

Banda Friday, 03 June 2011 12:18 PM
This clearly shows that the intention of the police was not to disperse the crowd, but to kill or seriously wound some protestors.

What lesson, the pot of gold awaits these police officers after the whole issue dies down. Finally it is a win win situ for both the master and henchmen, all on public account.

Police should know that the Free Trade Zone workers are tax payers, who pays their salary. Not to kill them but to protect them
