COLOMBO: The Sri Lanka Police has launched an investigation into a Scottish woman who was residing in Sri Lanka, named Kayleigh Fraser and better known by her social media name Kayz Fraser, for being actively involved in the “aragalaya” movement centred around Galle Face, through which she has allegedly brought disrepute to Sri Lanka and its security forces on the international stage, while the Department of Immigration and Emigration confiscated her passport yesterday (2), The Morning learnt.
According to a post on her Instagram account, officials from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the Department of Immigration and Emigration had arrived at her residence, where they had attempted to intimidate her and later confiscated her passport.
“After receiving a call yesterday from the Immigration Department warning me to leave the country now – today I have immigration officers accost me and intimidate me outside my house demanding my passport, which they have now taken from me. And so it begins. I also heard them say ‘live video’ halfway through my filming – if any native speaker is willing to carefully listen to what they are saying amongst themselves that would be useful… because it seems to me that they were warning each other that i had a live video on the go…,” the Instagram post claimed.
When contacted by The Morning for clarification last night, Police Spokesperson Senior Superintendent of Police and Attorney-at-Law Nihal Thalduwa said that Fraser had been sharing “negative content” on her Instagram account.
“She was sharing negative content on her Instagram account. It is not right for a foreign national to be in our country and share such mass negative content. She is not a media personnel either, to cover the protests and ‘GotaGoGama’,” he said.
The Immigration Department has claimed that she had remained in Sri Lanka by extending her visa, and has provided her seven days to explain the reasons for her extended stay, The Morning learnt.Source: The Moirning.
