Lankans arrested in US

Wednesday, 28 July 2010

Palm Beach police in the US turned over six men from Sri Lanka to the U.S. Border Patrol today after noticing them walking down the street in wet pants, police said.

According to spokesman Sgt. Curtis Krauel, a patrol officer noticed the men at 6:40 a.m. (Tuesday) heading south at County Road near Seminole Avenue.

All six were between the ages of 20 and 40. They all appeared to be good health, police said.

Their pant legs were wet up to their knees, leading police to believe they had been dropped off by a boat, though no boat was found.

They had Sri Lankan currency and U.S. cash on them, and indicated they did not speak English, according to police. They were not carrying any bags but they did have cell phones. Police also said the men did not provide information about themselves to investigators.

We were not allowed time to take Legal action against constitutional amendments –Ranil UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe addressing a media briefing at the Sri Kotha on the 1st, said the party was more ready to take political measures rather than legal against the Govt.’s proposed constitutional amendments.

Mr. Wickremesinghe gave this above answer in reply to a question posed by the media whether the UNP is taking legal measures against the constitutional amendments of the Govt. He also added that, as the proposed amendments in writing were received by the party only on Sunday last, there was hardly any time for the party’s legal Council to make an evaluation thereon.
