People are suffering!”, “Rajapakse, return our stolen wealth!”, “Free Sri Lanka from violence, corruption, racism and Rajapakses”, “Restore democracy”, “Journalists under threat in Sri Lanka”, “Let us live with dignity”, “Listen to the masses, respect democracy” and “Make basic essentials available”.
