When told people like you with your kind of passports should expect this treatment and that if we argued against that obviously disgusting comment we would be considered a threat to other passengers and not boarded is not treating everyone exactly the same but it is racist

Lol. Don’t JVP MPs have arrest warrants that aren’t being enforced?
President @anuradisanayake : “There is no limit to catching thieves.” Vowing to press ahead with large-scale corruption prosecutions, he said those calling for his government’s ouster are those hit by the crackdown.

Commonwealth Lawyers Association President Steven Thiru has described as unusual and unfortunate the decision not to allow petitioners’ counsel to make an oral reply during the Supreme Court hearing on the proposed 22nd Amendment. He said counsel were instead directed to submit their response in writing.

Grateful to the UN Special Rapporteur on the issue of the Independence of Judges and Lawyers for raising what BASL, the legal fraternity and this Opposition have said for weeks.
We have to ask the simple question: why must this extension apply to the judges already sitting on the bench today?
A government does not spend its political capital on a two-year adjustment unless it knows exactly whose two years it is buying.
And everyone needs to understand what this means. If a government can decide how long a judge stays, that judge is no longer fully free to rule against the government.
1.1 million cases are pending. Not one is fixed by this amendment.
If the Govt insists on the extension, they should have a Referendum, as the Supreme Court required in 2022. But first explain it to the people, in plain language, in Sinhala, Tamil and English what the implications are, before people can vote on the matter.

🚨 UN raises concerns over Sri Lanka’s proposed judicial retirement age extension
The UN Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers has warned that extending the retirement age of sitting Supreme Court and Court of Appeal judges could threaten judicial independence and erode public confidence.
The UN expert has questioned why the proposed extension would apply to currently serving judges and raised concerns over potential executive and legislative interference and conflicts of interest.
She has called for a transparent, inclusive and consultative reform process with proper safeguards.

A British‑Sri Lankan engineer has captured global attention after celebrating Mercedes’ victory at the Austrian Grand Prix by lifting the Constructors’ Trophy on the podium. Arun Rajkumar, a trackside power unit engineer born into a Sri Lankan Tamil family, plays a crucial role in monitoring and optimising Mercedes’ power units during race weekends. A graduate of the University of Birmingham, Rajkumar first joined Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains as a placement student and has since become integral to the team’s Formula 1 success.
