Forty-four students, including 12 monks, have been suspended by the Sri Jayewardenepura University for taking part in a demonstration a week ago, said its Students Union.

Ven. Kamburupitiye Gnanissara Thera of the Union told the media today (Dec. 03) that as many as 128 students of the university have been suspended so far.

Students have lost their right to free expression and to right to assemble, he said.

The prelate urged all parties concerned to join in the struggle against this denial of students’ right over political reasons.
