🔺A Facebook comment, a court case and a death sentence in Saudi Arabia.

Sri Lankan Anojan Sivarasa was recently convicted after a social media comment he posted was deemed religiously offensive by Saudi authorities. Initially he was sentenced to five years' imprisonment and a fine, but the punishment was later increased to the death penalty, upon an appeal by his lawyers.

Sri Lanka is now pursuing legal and diplomatic avenues, including appeals, clemency requests and international interventions, in an effort to secure relief.

🗳️ Democracy Matters

Each year, September 15th marks the International Day of Democracy, making it a good time to reflect on what democracy really means and why it matters to all of us.

The word democracy comes from the ancient Greek words demos (the people) and kratos (rule or power). Democracy essentially means that power rests with the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.

Sri Lanka is proud to be one of the oldest democracies in South Asia, having introduced universal franchise (the right to vote) in 1931. But democracy is about more than just voting. It requires active citizens, strong institutions, accountability, and leaders who uphold democratic values.

Over the years, economic crises, ethno-political tensions, and instances of state overreach have tested our democratic system. Protecting democracy is therefore a shared responsibility, one that depends on informed citizens and moral leadership.

Democracy is something we must actively protect, participate in, and strengthen for future generations.
