Many international entities and figures have condemned an attack on protestors of the peoples struggle at Galle Face this morning.

The European Union stressed on the importance of the freedom of expression to the public which proved essential to the country’s current transition.

The Bloc questioned how restricting it severely would assist in finding solutions to the current political and economic crisis.
