Passports of a New Zealand Green Party Parliamentarian Jan Logie and Senator Lee Rhiannon from Australia had been impounded by the Sri Lankan immigration officials for violating immigration regulations, an official said.

They were detained and their passports were impounded for trying to hold a press conference in Colombo organised by Tamil National Alliance, the official said.

"Both were in Sri Lanka on tourist visas and holding a press conference is a violation of visa regulations," Immigration Chief Chulananda Perera told Daily Mirror Online.
