斯里兰卡政府拟以Protection of the State from Terrorism Act替换长期受争议的Prevention of Terrorism Act。政府称需要应对复杂的极端主义活动；权利团体及受访律师则担忧恐怖主义定义过宽、司法监督不足，以及军警搜查、盘问和扣押权力可能影响正常表达。

联合国人权高专办认为草案虽增加部分保障，仍重现旧制度的缺陷，要求防范酷刑、失踪及胁迫讯问。受访律师特别关注社交媒体表达可能被宽泛条文涵盖，但这些属于对草案风险的评析，并非已经对普通发帖者作出判决。

政府发言人否认法案会损害公民自由及新闻自由。最高法院提出需修改的条款，议会尚未确定表决日期；欧盟贸易优惠所附人权义务也使争议兼具经济影响。新法仍在立法过程中。
