Slowly the screws are being ratcheted up, eliminating dissent, freedom and protest by incarceration.

Burning houses is not part of peaceful protest. That is terrorism or vandalism.

DM, correct thé grammes. Whoever wrote this, appears to be translating some other language to English. “Nihal Wedaarachchi was also a member of the former Southern Province”. Former southern province? What is it know as at present? Nihal Wedaarachi was a former member of the southern provincial council. Hope you can correct this, as it’s embarrassing for a premiere English daily to have major grammatical errors.
