Ceylon Chamber pleads for violence-free protest on July 9
With civil society organisations backed by opposition political parties for a mass protest in Colombo on Saturday July 9 against the government, the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) urged that the action be non-violent. The CCC is Sri Lanka's most powerful chamber.
“While clearly understanding the views of the general public and recognising their freedom of speech and right to express views through public protests, CCC appeals to all parties to carry out such protests in a peaceful and non-violent manner,” it said in a statement on Thursday.
The CCC said it hoped the authorities will also act with increased vigilance to prevent any recurrence of the kind of unwanted violence that took place on May 9 as any act of violence from either side would seriously undermine all efforts that are being taken to resolve the economic crisis that is causing enormous hardships to the people of this country.
