COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Hundreds of taxi drivers drove across Sri Lanka’s capital Friday, demanding that the country’s chief justice step down while parliament considers an impeachment bid against her.

About 500 drivers joined the protest, driving their three-wheel vehicles displaying banners that said “Shame – Madam Excellency” across the main roads in Colombo and highlighting the deepening conflict between the island nation’s parliament and judiciary.
