Sri Lanka: Saddam and the Sri Lankans

True Sri Lankan on what appears to be a lot of silence regarding the execution of Sri Lankans. “When Saddam Hussein was hanged there were massive protests in Sri Lanka organised by certain sections of the muslim community but a few days ago 4 Sri Lankans were beheaded and then their bodies were displayed in public by the Saudi government but we did not see any sort of action/protest of the same scale being carried out by the same group that came forward to protest on behalf of Saddam.”
