Three Sri Lankan student activists were detained on Monday under draconian anti-terrorism law four days after being arrested at a protest in Colombo.

Rights advocates have slammed the move, accusing the government of construing dissent as terrorism, despite Sri Lanka's controversial Prevention of Terrorism Act under sharp scrutiny again.

Sri Lankan civic activists concerned over 'witch-hunt' by state.
Radio Islam International spoke to engineer and activist Nuzly Hameem, who explained that on August 18, the police arrested nearly 20 protesters at a march held in Colombo, organised by the Inter-University Students' Federation, where participants highlighted many issues, including "state repression" and the spiralling cost of living.
