A Scots woman who is documenting the protests in Sri Lanka has had her passport seized by the authorities. Kayleigh Fraser, from St Andrews, said six immigration officers turned up at her door on Tuesday, claiming she had violated her visa conditions.
The 34-year-old said they demanded to have her passport “otherwise they would put me in handcuffs”. Kayleigh said she was then told to wait for seven days for “an investigation” to be carried out, before she could retrieve her documentation.
The day before, she said she received “a panicked” phone call from an employee at the company which issued her visa, telling her to leave the country immediately because authorities were investigating her.
