Shoot-on-sight order in Sri Lanka as stir intensifies, ex-PM flees home
Sri Lanka’s defence ministry ordered the military on Tuesday to shoot anyone caught attacking people or damaging property after violent clashes a day earlier singed the entire country and forced PM Mahinda Rajapaksa to resign. Hundreds swarmed the entrance to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s office demanding he follow in his brother’s footsteps and quit.
