HR commission, please look into the blatant violations of human rights by the Srilankan Police. If they behave like this openly, can imagine how they behave inside the police stations.

This not the right way to solve the problem of these university students. After all they are all citizen of Sri Lanka and future of Sri Lanka. They have the right to protest or demand for their rights. It should be the Government that should take the full responsibility and should have invited these student for a face to face talks and resolve their problems.
