Original review summary

The review found that the photos do not show a recent SJB protest in support of Harini Amarasuriya: they show an earlier protest in Parliament on November 25, 2021. SJB MPs wore orange armbands and “Stop Violence Against Women” stickers for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, not to support Amarasuriya against recent backlash.
