A group of Buddhist monks has been holding a satyagraha, or sit-in protest, at Viharamahadevi Park in Colombo to demand the release of Ven. Galaboda Atte Gnanasara Thera. Reports from Ada Derana and Hiru News described the protest as continuing through its third, fourth and fifth days.
The Island reported that the protest took a different turn on Saturday evening, when protesters and police confronted one another. It identified Ven. Balangoda Kassapa Thera as among those involved, but the available report excerpt provides no further details of the incident.
Hiru News reported that Kassapa Thera was hospitalized and later returned to the protest. The reports provided do not specify what led to his hospitalization or describe any official response.
