ACJU strongly condemns the attack on peaceful protesters
We are greatly concerned to witness the reports of attacks which were made today (09th) upon those who were peacefully demonstrating in a democratic manner at the Galle Face and in front of the Temple Trees in protest of the current crisis situation in the country. We strongly condemn this vicious attack, which was against democracy.
We urge the relevant authorities to conduct a fair and transparent investigation into these attacks and take legal action against the perpetrators. We also call on all parties to refrain from violence and to carry out their activities in a peaceful manner.
