(UTV|COLOMBO) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it has taken serious note of a video circulating online showing the Defence Attache to the Sri Lanka High Commission in London making threatening gestures towards protestors on Sunday.
“In this connection, instructions have been sent to Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner in London today, February 6, 2018, to suspend him from work, with immediate effect,” the Ministry said in a statement.
