'Thought We'd Be Shot': Lanka Protesters On Attack By Ex-PM Supporters

NDTV's Sreeja MS speaks to anti-government protesters in Sri Lanka, who were attacked by supporters of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa at Galle Face in Colombo last week. "I was at the spot when Rajapaksa supporters attacked us. We ran for our lives. We assumed we'd be shot," a protester said. Many of the protesters were hospitalised. They have now returned to the same site and are rebuilding the area and distributing food to the hungry.
