PSTA and PTA Legislation Protests
Sri Lankan citizens and organizations are actively protesting against the proposed Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) and Organized Crime Prevention Bill (PSTA). Multiple protests have been organized by trade unions, students, and civil society groups demanding the government scrap these bills.
Another protest against PSTA & OCA organized by the Trade Unions & People's Power was held in Katunayake Awariyawatta today. #lka #SriLanka #NoPSTA #NoOCA https://t.co/RWs4mpcvQd

Classic selective #omission by @NewsfirstSL. They left out that today's protest was called because #PSTA was scheduled for Parliament today. The protest opposed both PSTA & #OSA. this is a cheap spin to paint it as supporting organized crime #SriLanka #MediaBias #NoPSTA #NoOSA https://t.co/81k1ZNC67d
"Rebranding PTA as police violence might be the greatest white wash of government led enforced disappearances, torture and extra judicial killings." MP @Lakmali89 #SriLanka #EnforcedDisappearances #PTA
