Ever outspoken, Maria was arrested over a dozen times by various governments, which did not deter her. Eventually, this resilience…

By Raja Prabath Lankaloka Ranil Wickramasinghe has now been elected as the succeeding president by the votes of the members of parliament as the position got vacant due to the ouster of Gotabhaya Rajapaksa by the people on July 9.
