Police imposed a curfew in Sri Lanka’s capital and surrounding areas on Friday (local time), a day before a planned protest demanding the resignations of the country’s president and prime minister because of the economic crisis that has caused severe shortages of essential goods and disrupted people’s livelihoods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Critics have said President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is responsible for the economic crisis, the worst since the country’s independence in 1948. They also blame Ranil Wickremesinghe, who became prime minister two months ago, for not delivering on promises to end the shortages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Civic and opposition activists have announced that thousands of people will gather in Colombo on Saturday for a mass protest. Police said the curfew, beginning at 9pm on Friday, would last until further notice in Colombo and its suburbs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement of the curfew drew criticism from government opponents and the Bar Association of Sri Lanka, which said the “curfew is blatantly illegal and a violation of the fundamental rights”.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bar association statement asked police to immediately withdraw what the association called an “illegal order” imposing the curfew.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opposition leader Sajith Premadasa called the curfew”a fraud”.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Get on to the streets tomorrow. Defy the dictatorship and join with the people to make democracy victorious. Yes we can,” he said in a tweet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thousands of students wearing black clothes and holding black flags marched in Colombo on Friday demanding the resignations of Rajapaksa and Wickremesing. They shouted anti-government slogans and carried banners reading “enough \u2014 now go”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka is nearly bankrupt and has suspended repayments of US$7 billion ($11.3b) in foreign debt due this year. It must pay back more than US$5b ($8b) annually until 2026. Its foreign reserves are nearly wiped out and it is unable to import food, fuel, cooking gas and medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n

A lack of fuel to run power stations has resulted in extended daily power cuts. People must stand in lines for hours to buy fuel and gas. The country has survived mostly on credit lines extended by neighbouring India to buy fuel and other essentials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the economic crisis, inflation has spiked and prices of essentials have soared, dealing a severe blow to poor and vulnerable groups.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the fuel and power shortages, schools have been shut for weeks and the government has asked state employees other than those in essential services to work from home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The country is negotiating with the International Monetary Fund on a bailout package, but Wickremesinghe said this week that the negotiations are difficult because Sri Lanka is effectively bankrupt. He earlier said the country’s economy had “collapsed”.<\/span><\/p>\n

The economic crisis has triggered a political upheaval, with widespread anti-government protests. Protesters have blocked main roads to demand fuel, and people in some areas have fought over limited stocks.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Colombo, protesters have occupied the entrance to the president’s office for nearly three months to demand his resignation. They accuse him and his powerful family, which includes several siblings who until recently held Cabinet positions, of precipitating the crisis through corruption and misrule.<\/span><\/p>\n

Months of protests have nearly dismantled the Rajapaksa political dynasty that has ruled Sri Lanka for most of the past two decades.<\/span><\/p>\n
