Swiss Embassy local staffer arrested

Swiss Embassy local staffer, Garnier Banister Francis, was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on the instructions of the Attorney General a short while ago.

She was arrested after being produced in the National Institute of Mental Health.

The Attorney General advised the CID to arrest Ms. Francis after naming her as a suspect for exciting disaffection against the government.

Accordingly, she was arrested and produced in the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court. (Yoshitha Perera)
