They lost their children, properties and all the native places. At the present situation all the customary heritages of the fishing communities are going to exploit by forcefully by the government. The date which disaster was happened they are bearing all the humble treatments for them actually theirs bearing capacity was expired by 25th of June. Among all those barriers and difficulties they decided to go to a protest to win their own rights on 26th of June against the tyrannical rulers in the country. But unfortunately they have not been permitted to this protest by the Sri Lankan police who were educated even one day under the free education in Srilanka. But they couldn’t stop that because the fight was built up with their own encourages. Thought it had organized on 26th of June they were not permitted to do because of the surfing game of the foreigners that organized by the Sri Lankan tourist industry to full fill their desires. The government which doesn’t pay an attention for these poor people to win their realistic and justice rights the foreigners will be permitted to full fill their desires at any movement. That’s what our government only does.

The General secretary of the World Forum of Fisher People [WFFP] and National Convener of the National Fisheries Solidarity [NAFSO] Mr. Herman Kumara also attended the protest and their final meeting they had organized. Not only the National Convenr was addressing the crowd but also he kept a special expression before the people , If the government didn’t get an action for that and if they don’t like to come to the final agreement in respect of this matter, a large protest will be organized all over the Sri Lanka on 16th of July.
