According to the court decision taken by the Sri Lankan Police to evacuate the activists who were camped at the Galle Face site, many of the activists who were staying in that area were seen leaving by this evening.
According to this, the police had previously given a notice to the protesters who were staying at the Galle Face protest site to leave by 5 pm yesterday (05).
During our visit, NewsWave was able to see how the activists who had camped in that site for more than three months are gradually leaving in accordance with this notice.
Here, most of the fighters were the people who were still there the day the struggle started last April.
Some even left their jobs and joined the struggle ground and it is special that they stayed in the site throughout their time.
It was a very emotional scene for these people to leave the struggle ground today. Most of the people said goodbye to their friends with tears in their eyes and many of them were seen kissing and embracing the people who they met in the struggle area.
It was very emotional to see the people who were standing in the protest site looking at the crops they had planted there with a sigh, and the way they sadly touched the fruit that had grown there and said goodbye.
The cloud-laden Galle Face area did not get the usual golden sunset today, and it created a weather condition that matched the misery of the land.
We stayed there until the sun is set and only the signs could be seen at the end.
Accordingly, even if the strugglers leave, the special turn that Galle Face site made in the history of this country will always be remembered.
