The Beach A Temporary Escape for Muslims - Sri Lanka

A woman seen from the back, standing in the water and looking at the horizon, on the beach in Weligama, Sri Lanka, on January 2nd, 2022. In Sri Lanka, the Muslim community has faced increasing challenges since the 2019 Easter bombings, when coordinated attacks on churches and hotels by a local Islamist extremist group claimed over 250 lives. In the aftermath, anti-Muslim sentiment surged across the island, leading to heightened discrimination and hostility. The situation worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the government introduced a series of stringent policies impacting the Muslim community. These measures included banning the burqa and niqab in public spaces, closing over 1,000 madrasas, and requiring all Islamic texts entering the country to be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Defense. These actions have raised significant concerns about religious freedom and the marginalization of Muslims in Sri Lankan society.

Mallorca Imposes Stricter Rules For Managing Overtourism

Tourists in the vicinity of the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca on April 16, 2024, in Palma de Mallorca, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. Tourists planning to visit Mallorca may encounter stricter regulations and potential new fines as the island seeks to address the challenges posed by the annual surge of visitors, which has increasingly frustrated local residents. Mallorca, a favored destination particularly among tourists from the UK and Germany, sees almost 800,000 visitors each year, adding to the already significant population of non-Spanish residents, who make up nearly 19% of the island’s inhabitants. The mayor of Palma, Jaime Martinez, has advocated for stringent behavioral regulations for tourists, suggesting substantial fines for any infractions. The local government aims to mitigate issues related to unruly behavior, including public disturbances such as fights, excessive drinking, vandalism, and other forms of antisocial conduct.
