The death toll from Sri Lanka's worst prison riot in nearly three decades has risen to 27, with 43 people wounded. Sri Lanka's Police Minister, Chandrasiri Gajadeera, told parliament 11 bodies had been found in search operations on Saturday and a further 16 were being kept in hospital. Heavily armed troops moved into the maximum security Welikada prison overnight on Friday to restore order after hours of gun battle between inmates and police commandos, military officials said on Saturday.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
