(March 22, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) "THEY CAME FIRST for the Tamils, (Raviraj,abduction of Tamils in Colombo, Sivaram etc) and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Tamil.
THEN THEY CAME for the Free Media , (Lasantha, SirasaTV, Ruwan Weerakoon,Tissanayagam, etc)and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Media Person.
THEN THEY CAME for the Opposition, ( Abduction of Fonseka, attacks and murder of JVP, UNP supporters)and I didn't speak up because I wasn't in Opposition,.
THEN THEY CAME for the dissenting Buddhist Monks (Threats against Mahanayakas, arrest of Monks with false charges, etc) and I didn’t speak up because I was not a Buddhist Monk.
THEN THEY CAME for me and by that time no one was left to speak up."
