Police said the man pleaded was guilty over the charges when he was produced in court.
He told court that he had returned from Australia after 10 years and that he had no idea why the road was closed.

He should be punished soon. Some people have this syndrome coming from abroad that they are above the law.

This is not an offence as it is a freedom of expression. BUT when the China start control us, we may loose all our freedom of expression by Chinese law.

He had the right to express his anger at a time like this where Corona is everywhere and they have to get home on time to their loved ones. One should not block the road. As Sri lankians we pay our tax too. That’s called Democratic.
