This action should have taken when they began protest during the Rajapaksas regime without fearing American threat.

This Police order is illegal and must be challenged in court. If they obtained an order from a court it is different

Mr. Bean is really shy of public opinion and he had no public mandate in the true democratic traditions.

No surprise you do your cunning job cleverly by chasing the protesters away from Galle Face well in time before August 09th. After doing this you can say peaceful protests are allowed. Like Rajapakshas your end is not far away.

Why no ultimatum or rush to wind up barbaric Easter Sunday 2019 mayhem or slaughter of country’s economy by looting central bank of Sri Lanka, if no effort to rectify those,what hurry to move out from public place like Galle face

Kindly publish friendly comments, but you DM are in for a rude awakening with people real anger and fury. Keep egging on a failed leader over four decades, Srilanka will rise above you, and all your awards will be a failed attempt to reign corruption and abet the behaviour of a serially failed leader who have become President through backdoor to fulfill his dreams not people’s true aspirations for a corrupt free society. Well done

What is going to happen to Sri Lanka ??Protests to destabilise the country. Tamil Diaspora, Foreign western countries, Christian Church behind this. Nip this joke from JVP and Peratugamee jokers at the beginning. Deport all foreigners without valid visa.

These protesters have a right to choose the venue of their protests as long as it will not be a hindrance to the public. As expected, this scoundrel ranil is using emergency regulations to suppress the democratic rights of the people. If people are given an opportunity to select their president, this guy will have no place to hide. The public resentment of this sordid regime is still boiling over.

CryingOutShame What a load of bull dust!!!. Galle Face Green was always the place where the PUBLIC have gathered at ALL times of the day and night and vendors used to do business there too and make a living. In the good old days people used umbrella's to sit under, so what's wrong with people putting up temporary tents, not as though they are putting up permanent structures.

What an opportunist president. He only became president because of the protest at Galle Face and now taking the opportunity to remove the protest before he's also kicked out!!! Great leader, how inspirational. For all saying well done have some respect for a movement that has done lots more for the country during 03 months than any of these leaders who have been hanging onto there ministerial post for decades. Aragalaya is not just at Galle Face, its in the hearts and minds of all the people who has pride in being Srilankan and not slaves to any politicians

1. Protestors = all people other than those in parliament. 2. Protestors go through the struggle to make a permanent change to the system for the benefit of all the people.

It would be better to appoint a Director General at the President/PM office , to face the protesters

Slowly the right to food, medicines, fuel, schooling, learning, protest, dissent, human rights, legal protections etc is being extinguished in our Buddha thrice visited blessed failed paradise
