Stop harassments on Human Rights Defenders of NAFSO

We are living in a so called democratic society where the right to freedom of association is well recognized,  respected and promoted. We as NAFSO working within the frame work of SL national constitution should also exercise these rights.

But there are two incidents to report today as my colleagues are day by day threatened or harassed by CID/NIB or military in the country, irrespective of north or south.

INCIDENT 1
My colleagues attended the fishermen's and boat owner's protest organized at Thoppuwa today and distributed the leaflet we prepared against the foreign fishing vessels operating and unloading fish which are badly affect the income of the fishermen.
 After attending the protest at Thoppuwa junction, my colleague Suba received a phone call from CID officers at Negombo asking what is the protest at Thoppuwa? What is the relationship with this protest and NAFSO? Who is Nalaka Rosairo? Why he took the photographs of Police? etc. Etc.
We do not have right to organize or even to attend a protest?

INCIDENT 2
I had to accompany, Rev. Bandiwewe Diyasena who comducted 5 day huger strike to bring SL fishermen who were detained in Andaman Jails more than a year, to CID head quarters today. The charge was to inquire about some of the monies he had taken from a boat owner promising to release the same fishermen held in Andaman jails in 2011.
The CID officers were informed to Rev. Diyasena thero's temple to attend for the inquiry about the same incident while Rev. Diyasena was out of the country for some time.
Rev. Diyasena work with NAFSO closely and attended several activities in relation to fishermen, land issues and well as human rights issues such as protests of people of disappeared, human rights day celebrations etc.
As a result of the fisheries hunger strike Rev.Diyasena conducted, he got very bad mud slinging from Minister Fisheries Rajitha Senarathne  and the boat owner and a corrupted person who claimed to be attended the release of fishermen when they were held in foreign jails.
