Security forces deployed to disperse anti-government protesters in Colombo, Sri Lanka, 30 August 2022. Hundreds of university students, trade union members and civil rights activists took to the streets to condemn the government's enforcement of the prevention of terrorism act (PTA) to crack down on anti-government protesters. Sri Lanka has been rocked by over four months of protests as the country faces its worst economic crisis due to the lack of foreign reserves, resulting in severe shortages in food, fuel, medicine, and imported goods.

A student of the Sri Lankan ancient martial art “Angampora” performs during a practice session at the angam maduwa or fighting field, in Korathota, a suburb of Colombo, Sri Lanka, 07 September 2022. Sri Lanka's ancient martial art, Angampora, is thought to be thousands of years old. Anga translates to “body parts” and Angampora is a fighting art that uses body parts. Martial arts practitioners in Angampora were mostly in the king's service, and they were tasked with protecting the king and his kingdom. Angampora was practiced in secret for most centuries because the British, who colonized Sri Lanka, banned it in 1818 after seeing it as a threat. (Photo by Chamila Karunarathne/EPA/EFE)
