BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID OF GETTING COURTS WARRANTS TO ARREST FIVE STAR HOTEL OWNERS AND HIGH CLASS SERVICE PROVIDERS.

5 star or any star hotels are not raided because the police raid only under cover brothels running under names of hotels, motels, spas and massage parlors. If someone accuse police for not raiding high class brothels, there is a valid point.

As the Gypsies' song goes "five star hotel walata pannin neththe ei?"

Don't the Sri Lanka Police have anything better to do than arrest these people who are providing a service. No one is forced to go these places. So where is the crime? Its time our archaic laws are changed as in enlightened countries. These arrested committed no crime. The Police should forcus on thugs, robbers, cheats, bribe takers etc. Now those are crimes with victims.

If they raided the parliament.......How many hookers could be arrested?

Casanova, nice one but the hookers there seem to have got dual citizenship.

Legalize prostitution

Why these policemen go behind minor matters and blind eye on major offenses ?

BV Sunday, 05 November 2017 05:20 PM

Because they are Sri Lanka Police.....

It's time to legalise the oldest profession in the world. However the givers should have regular medical checks against STD by medical officers of Health . This is what you see in advanced countries such as New Zealand, Holland etc. Dr White

Oh... now we have a reason to visit NZ and HOL BTW, Dr. White are you one of those doc's who examine the service providers ? looks that you know the subject area well...

After more than 2 years in power this government cannot punish the looters of the former regime who have robbed in billions of rupees but can only catch poor who wants to make a buck for there day to day living . What a sad state of affairs RW .

Legalese prostitution - it will have a positive impact on crimes and creating jobs. Sri Lankan society is matured now to accept human requirements.
