Police fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse the Inter University Students Federation (IUSF) protestors at St Anthony’s Road Kollupitiya, a short while ago.

As a result the Duplication Road in Kollupitiya has been shut for motorists.

Earlier, the Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court issued a restraining order preventing protestors from entering the Galle Face Green in Colombo from Lipton Circus via Union Place today.

No amount of tear gas or water cannon or brutality by the security forces can stifle the agitation against this sordid regime. Such action only makes it worse. UNP will learn its main lesson at the forthcoming elections at the Colombo Municipal Council.
