27 arrested during protest in front of MoH

Maradana Police arrested 27 individuals last night (March 27) for protesting in front of the Ministry of Health, violating a court order.

According to the IUSF, the arrests were made in the dead of night when police forces arrived and forcibly removed the protesters from a ‘Satyagraha’ site. The IUSF condemned the arrests, alleging state repression against students standing up for free education

The Allied Health Sciences Students’ Union staged the demonstration yesterday afternoon, supported by members of the Inter-University Students’ Federation (IUSF), including its convener – Madushan Chandrajith.

At that time, eight representatives had a discussion with the Secretary of the Ministry of Health, but due to its failure, they continued to remain at the place rejecting a court order prohibiting protests and marches that would inconvenience the public.

Previously, a court order was issued prohibiting protest demonstrations and marches on several roads and pavements including the Deans Road, De Serum Road, and Regent Street, obstructing access to the Hospital square, adjoining hospitals and the Ministry of Health.
