The Colombo High Court today (11) rejected the appeal filed by Shashi Weerawansa against the two‑year prison sentence and fine imposed for possessing an illegal foreign travel document.

Delivering the judgment, High Court Judge Manjula Thilakaratne confirmed the verdict previously issued by the Colombo Magistrate’s Court.

In 2022, the Magistrate’s Court found Shashi Weerawansa, wife of former minister Wimal Weerawansa, guilty of the charge and sentenced her to two years’ imprisonment along with a fine of Rs. 100,000.

Today’s ruling upholds the earlier decision, leaving the prison term and financial penalty in place. (Newswire)
