Socialist Students statement
Socialist Students stands in solidarity with protesters, including students, who have been arrested and detained by the Sri Lankan regime. The issues which blight the lives of youth and students in Britain – rising prices and falling living standards, all driven by the profit-first capitalism system – are the same issues the movement in Sri Lanka is fighting back against.
Recognising this common struggle, Socialist Students has launched our ‘Solidarity with the struggle in Sri Lanka’ campaign. We will help build international solidarity and put forward socialist ideas for workers and young people in Sri Lanka struggling against brutal repression and economic crisis.
You can find resources to help with your campaigning on campus at socialiststudents.org.uk/sri-lanka-solidarity-campaign. And Socialist Students is also holding a series of public meetings on Sri Lanka.
