They were unceremoniously shoved into every available corner - shops, alleys and even into drains - by armed soldiers. Even respectably dressed ladies were not spared, as all these people were subjected to incomprehension, shock and humiliation. When one of them broke the silence and inquired as to what was going on, he was rudely told to shut up and do as he was told. Also, the people who were jam-packed into shops, alleys and drains were given a warning not to look towards the road. Upon hearing this, one person advised his fellow sufferers against disobeying the order, saying that he had a similar experience a few days ago in Kollupitiya, where a soldier had kicked a man for looking at the road. The enraged, but helpless pedestrians were kept like this for nearly half an hour, before several sleek, black, and luxurious vehicles flew by, escorted by security backup vehicles and motorcycles.Afterwards, they were allowed to proceed on their various ways, just like a group of prisoners freshly released from a detention centre.It is reported that the personage that had been escorted in this style much to the chagrin of the common man is none other than Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, who attended the inauguration of the Armed Forces’ Athletics Meet at the Sugathadasa Stadium this morning. <a href="http://lankadissent.com/index.php?option=c...d=2&lang=en" target="_blank">http://lankadissent.com/index.php?option=c...d=2&lang=en</a></p></blockquote><p></p>
