The Church of Ceylon said today that they deplore the recent conduct of the Police in arresting a group of youth who were engaged in a peaceful demonstration without any threat to the breach of peace.

Such arbitrary arrests and unlawful action by law enforcement is a blatant violation of the fundamental rights of our people. Such conduct will not help in mitigating the suffering of our people, the statement by the Church stated.

"It is clear that there is a rejection of nepotistic family politics, corruption, and the attitude of impunity towards the burning issues that our people are forced to struggle with on a daily basis," according to the statement.

The Church of Ceylon said they agree with the protesters that their elected leaders have failed the people of the nation.

    Why don’t the Buddhist monks who encouraged people to vote for Rajapakses at least now encourage them to support the protests.
