A person who identifies himself as an officer attached to the Sri Lankan Amy has appeared to have published Facebook posts openly promoting violence against minorities.
In two separate Facebook posts, the Army officer, going by the name ‘Thishan Srinath Perera’ on Facebook had indicated that assaults against minorities must be carried out as "small group attacks".
In another post, he urges attackers to cover their faces while engaging in violent activities.
However, it is yet to be established whether the owner of this Facebook is actually a member of the Army.
But the post appears to be a cause of concern for members of the public as this comes against a backdrop where the Sri Lankan government deployed the military to ensure safety of Muslims in the Kandy district.
