  by Jehan Perera Most of the country would have heaved a sigh of relief at the early release of the Ceylon Teachers’ Union leader Joseph Stalin and his colleagues from Covid quarantine. This was a longstanding trade union and part of civil society that had been arrested and sent for two weeks of Covid quarantine after being given bail by the courts for having engaged in a public protest. The cause they were seeking to uphold is the independence of higher institutions of learning, in particular the universities, from political and, even worse, military control.  They were true civil society heroes, both lay and clergy, non-violent and self-sacrificial, and for that reason virtually the entire teaching profession went on a protest strike to demonstrate their solidarity.
