Protesters support permanent residency for Rajan

Viraj Dissanayake, a socialist and Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union delegate of Sinhalese background, said Sri Lanka is ruled by a “war criminal government” and is therefore not safe for Tamils.
It is not even safe for most of its citizens, he said, saying protestors have been arrested, including a teacher union leader.
Matt, a friend of Rajan who has visited him in detention, described him as a “loving, caring person” who cares for his fellow detainees.
Rajan has written to the government saying that he does not want to die in detention, and asking to be allowed to “die in peace”.
