Sri Lanka anti-government protest camp raided by security forces – BBC News


Security forces in Sri Lanka raided the main anti-government protest camp in the capital early on Friday, arresting protesters and dismantling tents.

Hundreds of troops and police commandos moved on the protesters outside the presidential offices in Colombo, hours before they were due to leave the area.

Nine people, including two who are injured, have been arrested by police. A BBC video journalist was beaten by the army while his phone was snatched and videos deleted.

Police described the incident as a "special operation to take [back] control of the presidential secretariat".
