Sri Lanka protest camp clears out after crackdown





Protesters in Sri Lanka who brought down the previous government announced they were dismantling their main demonstration site near the president's office on Wednesday (Aug 10) in the wake of a crackdown against their leaders.

The group led by university students and leftist parties said they were clearing out their tents along the Galle Face seafront promenade in the capital.

A spokesman said they had also withdrawn four court challenges against a police order for them to vacate the area that claimed their tents were a hindrance to nearby hotels.

Activists were seen taking down their tents and removing other structures they had put up supporting their struggle against the administration.

The demonstrations began on Apr 9 as a protest against shortages of essentials such as fuel, food and medicines in Sri Lanka's worst ever economic crisis.

They peaked when tens of thousands poured into Colombo and overran Gotabaya Rajapaksa's presidential palace on Jul 9, forcing him to flee and eventually resign.

Days after Rajapaksa fled to Singapore and announced his resignation, troops evicted protesters occupying the palace as well as the home and office of the prime minister.
