UNP stages protest rally against government regulations
[06 May 2000]
 

Around thirty members of the United National Party staged a protest rally near Colombo's Independence square yesterday, against the government's new regulations. 

The Public Security Ordinance put forward by the government recently, goes side by side with its decision to put the country on a war footing. It allows the government to seize any land or property including vehicles and other assets when necessary, under emergency regulations. 

A large number of UNP supporters who were expected to turn up for the protest, did not do so, saying that they didn't know the consequences with the PSO in force, sources claim.
