‘Let’s defeat the constitutional dictatorship’: Opposition parties hold joint presser

Opposition parties today held a joint press conference in Colombo condemning the arrest of former President Ranil Wickremesinghe.

Speaking under the theme “Let’s defeat the constitutional dictatorship,” the parties accused the government of using the law to target political opponents. Leaders from several opposition groups said the detention of Wickremesinghe was part of a broader effort to weaken democratic institutions and silence dissent.
