Sri Lankan Citizenship Granted to Kumar Gunaratnam

The Frontline Socialist Party (FSP) politburo member Kumar Gunaratnam was arrested in November 2015  for violating Immigration and Emigration Laws. After the Court case  he was jailed  for over staying without proper visa in Srilanka. The Frontline Socialist Party, Socialist Organizations, Civil Rights Organizations and several prominent  persons  wrote to the Government  justifying his  application for citizenship.

Kumar Gunaratnam has  given up his  Australian  citizenship when he applied for  Srilanka citizenship.

Yesterday  the Government has sent a letter granting Sri Lankan citizenship to  Kumar Gunaratnam with effect from yesterday (22).
