π Sri Lankan Tamil youth seeks Modi's help in Saudi case
A Sri Lankan opposition MP urged President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to ask PM Modi for help regarding Anojan Sivarasa. Ganesan made the appeal citing PM Modiβs close ties with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Sivarasa is a Tamil youth from the Eastern Province accused of blasphemy via a social media post. He was initially sentenced to five years and a fine but later reportedly faced capital punishment. The Sri Lankan Foreign Ministry is currently engaged with Saudi authorities through diplomatic channels. π
