The convener of the Inter-University Student Federation, Wasantha Mudalige, Hashantha Gunathilake, and Rev: Galvewa Siridhamma have been detained for 90-days by a detention order taken under PTA.

Many people thought that the international community would take strict action against Sri Lankan government as soon as they were arrested. But that didn’t happen.

We inquired from several embassy officials in Colombo about the silence of the international community in this regard. They said that the struggle had no head, no plan, and a movement ran only on money.

In more, They said that if the activists had a brain, the first thing they should have done was to put pressure on the government to withdraw the Terrorism Act.

They pointed out that if they had done it then, they would not have been arrested today by PTA. They also pointed out that the PTA suspects who have been in custody for many years without charge will also benefit.

They said that today’s struggle leaders have become victims of their own failure.

So far, nearly 100 suspects have been jailed under the PTA. They have requested struggle leaders to put pressure on the government to remove the  PTA. But struggle leaders did not do anything

In the end, the country got only a huge financial loss from the struggle.

Today, The helpless PTA suspects have started a fast in Prison. It is worth noting, The UNHRC session is scheduled to begin on September 23.
