Sri Lanka economic crisis: Police fire tear gas and water cannons at government supporters
Colombo:
Police imposed an indefinite curfew in the Sri Lankan capital on Monday following clashes between government supporters and protesters demanding the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
Officials said at least 20 people were injured. AFP correspondents said Rajapaksa loyalists armed with sticks and clubs attacked unarmed protesters outside the presidential office on April 9.
Police fired tear gas at government supporters and violated police lines to break down tents and other structures set up by anti-government protesters.
