Over 200 people have been arrested in Sri Lanka since Monday as authorities try to bring order back to the island nation hit by a streak of violence amid the ongoing economic crisis.
Protesters have been detained on various charges, including violation of curfew, attacking the public and causing damages to public and private properties.
Some 230 people have been arrested, with 68 of them remanded, Sri Lanka’s Daily Mirror reported Police spokesperson Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Nihal Thalduwa as saying.
The police spokesperson further said that among the arrested, 71 were from the Western Province, 43 from Southern Province, 17 from Central Province, 36 from North Western Province, 47 from North Central, 13 from Sabaragamuwa and two from Uva Province.
