Скачать или смотреть Sri Lankan Medical Students Protest Lack of Drugs

Hundreds of medical students stormed and occupied the health ministry in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo to protest the shortage of drugs because of the island nation’s deepening economic crisis.

Scarce supplies of food and fuel, along with record inflation and electricity rationing, have inflicted widespread misery in the country's most painful downturn since independence from Britain in 1948.

Security forces have dispersed protests with tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets, but a state of emergency imposed by the president last week to quell demonstrations was lifted at midnight.
