Gotabaya returns amid arrest calls
Deposed Sri Lankan president Gotabaya Rajapaksa faced calls for his arrest yesterday after returning home from self-imposed exile under the protection of the government that took charge when he fled. Rajapaksa arrived at the main international airport in Colombo and was driven in a security convoy to a new official residence in the capital provided to him by the new government. Leaders of the protest campaign that toppled his government said Rajapaksa, who lost his presidential immunity after leaving office, should now be brought to justice. "He can't live freely as if nothing has happened," said a protest leader named Stalin.
