As Sri Lanka runs out of fuel, doctors and bankers protest ‘impossible situation’.
Doctors and bankers were among hundreds of Sri Lankans who marched to demand the government resolve a severe fuel shortage at the heart of the Indian Ocean island’s worst economic crisis in decades or step down.

More Liberal Hypocrisy: Liberal Member of Parliament Melanie Joly Tweeted Canada is deeply concerned about the deteriorating economic situation & civil unrest in Sri Lanka. It is essential that the right to peaceful protest be respected. We stand in solidarity with the peoples of the island during these difficult times. This wasn’t the case in Canada where Trudeau attacked Canadian’s fundamental rights.
