The Protest began at the ‘Lipton roundabout’ and it lead
towards the UN office at Baudhhaloka Mawatha, passing the university of Colombo.
I will let you all view some of the moments i captured through the lens of my phone , while reading what i have gathered .......................
The objective of organizing the protest was to oppose the ‘visit and related
reasons of Mr. Al Hussain.
The Protest was organized by Mr. Wimal Weerawansa’s Party
together with Mr. Udaya Gammanpila.
The Protest was peacefully organized. Many hundreds of people from various parts of
the country, including Polonnaruwa participated for the protest.
They were raising many questions not only from the Human
Rights commissioner of the UN but also the government supporting that.
They were asking the government whether they don’t feel
ashamed of begging and kneeling down before them and to send the war heroes
(ranawairuwan) to a war crime court by betraying the Ranawiruwan (the War
Heroes) who fought to protect the country.
Further, they asked Mr. Al Hussain to listen to what they were
insisting and asked ‘his reasons to represent (going shopping / kade yanne) the
LTTE.
Also, the people gathered there were asking Mr. Al Hussain to return
to his country.

The Protest concluded after delivering a
speech by Mr. Wimal Weerawansa on behalf of the people gathered and joined the
Protest.
Following are from the speech of Mr. Wimal Weerawansa delivered
before the UN office. Following is not the whole speech delivered by him.
“He has not set his foot on this country for nothing”.
“He asked to visit this country during President Rajapakse’s
period, in the decisive period, a week before winning the war.”
“They did what ever nasty thing they could to stop the war. Failing
to do so, to be redivisioned this country united by the heroes, Al Hussain has
set his foot on this country to implement a war crime court.”
“We have a court in this country”
“We can hear any cases here, for that, we do not need any
courts of whites with white judges, white lawyers, white examiners / supervisors,
the courts that give decision the way that the West expects.
"We cannot let them to establish any war crime courts in this
country”
“What case they are going to be examined?”
“That is to investigate whether the war heroes have committed any
crimes?
“What is the crime that the war heroes have committed, to take
them to such courts?
“Only thing that they did was protecting this country by sacrificing their lives. The
heroes won the war, widening the eyes of the west, who thought winning it was
impossible”
“We do not need such fraud courts in here.”
If you want to investigate any war crimes, you must begin that
from your country. Not only that go to Libya, go to Iraq, the powerful of the west,
imperialists killing people.
Why cannot you investigate such?
If you want to investigate any human rights violations go to such places
Today, they are here, this is a country won a war.
All three forces, civil forces, police sacrificed their lives
to protect this country.
Dear brothers, we say, your ones sacrificed your lives to protect
this country. You have done so, not to establish any war crime courts here, 6
years after winning the war.
Wikileaks was arrested. The UN has asked them to release him
indicating that the facts against were not accurate, did they listen?
Are the west countries accepting that?
Did you inquire them about it?
the speech continued ..................
The rally , the protest was a peaceful one
