Colombo (News 1st); The United Opposition staged a protest in Colombo on Wednesday (13) themed 'Let Us Protect Freedom of Speech'.
A number of civil organizations as well as Samagi Jana Balavegaya members took part in the protest.
The Samagi Jana Balavegaya also handed over a complaint to the Speaker of Parliament to protect the freedom of speech.
In the complaint, the SJB said every member of parliament has a legal right to express their opinions.
In adds, the President's remarks mentioning the name of MP Harin Fernando for a statement the latter made in Parliament is one which goes against the Freedom of Speech and is likely to intimidation.
