Aug. 7 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Sri Lankan government has asked the Singapore authorities to extend the visa of the country’s former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who has fled since the popular revolution that ended his term last month, for another two weeks.
Sources close to the decision have told the ‘Daily Mirror’ that the president will not return to Sri Lanka until the end of this month, at least.
It must be remembered that Rajapaksa, accused by a large part of the population of enriching himself and benefiting his family during his mandate, initially planned to return on August 11.
Faced with strong opposition from activists, the former president left for Singapore via the Maldives on July 14, where he was initially to stay for two weeks.
