Immigration and Emigration authorities have decided to deport Lebanese Democratic Youth Union Leader Mohamed Hottait and his wife following CID reports that the couple participated in anti government activities.

Immigration and Emigration Controller Chulananda Perera told Daily Mirror that the couple will be sent back to his country on Qatar airway tonight.

“I received a CID report Mohamed Hottait and his wife were engaged in activities inimical to the state while being here on a tourist visa. I cannot allow such persons to stay here. Therefore, I decided to deport them,” Chulananda Perera said.  (KB)

    Lakmikanth Friday, 19 November 2010 07:58 PM

    If you are a Sri Lankan, think twice where you were born, before
    commenting rubbish.

    Upul Friday, 19 November 2010 08:58 PM

    Jay Ranaweera Friday, 19 November 2010 10:33 PM

    Ram Friday, 19 November 2010 11:35 PM

    Which French royal family , you are inventing , there's no
    royal family there.

    Jinadasa Saturday, 20 November 2010 02:15 AM

    i think they were innocent bystanders, who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

    SLA Patriot Friday, 19 November 2010 04:34 PM

    Good Move!! Don't let any foreigner to interfere with our matters.

    tissa Saturday, 20 November 2010 03:45 AM

    manmohan is not from our beautiful island

    Ossan Salam - Doha Saturday, 20 November 2010 04:06 AM

    What nonsense!!!! will Lebanon or any other coutries allow us to protest against in their countries......let them go stage drama in their "pickled culture " country !

    Api Nagimu Saturday, 20 November 2010 04:26 AM

    Lebanon is actually doing really well right now. Its peaceful and a darling tourist hotspot amongst travelers, especially Europeans, more than Sri Lanka in fact (although we're catching up). And also, the couple may have just attended the rally - i dont see the JVP shouting the way they do in ENGLISH, so I don't see how the lebanese couple could have voiced their protests in SINHALESE. It would have looked like a funny "bi-scope" to them because JVP rallies are hardly ever dignified.

    Rushdi al Ayad Saturday, 20 November 2010 11:54 AM

    talking about democracy if a Sri Lankan gad done this in Lebanon what would have happend

    JUNIOR CITIZEN Saturday, 20 November 2010 03:30 PM

    well said Looney

    Mynah Bird Saturday, 20 November 2010 05:09 PM

    Good move. Lebanese should do protests in their own country about the way they treat foreign house maids.

    apsara Saturday, 20 November 2010 07:32 PM

    All protesting Sri Lankan to be tied to tress as per Prof. Mervin's theory.

    paapi Saturday, 20 November 2010 08:45 PM

    Maybe they want to start another Hamas movement in sri lanka. Inform the Israelis!

    No one important Sunday, 21 November 2010 02:29 AM

    Wonder What exactly they did? So we should not jump to conclusions. Anyway I am sure we would have got a jolly good canning if we voiced our opinion in lebanon.

    lol are they beauties? SL had better and charming beauties then these ones. via DM Android App

    Romesh Friday, 19 November 2010 03:32 PM

    GO back to lebanon and fix that country first, jokers.

    nagasena Friday, 19 November 2010 02:44 PM

    Well done Chulananda! That was quick, how efficient :)

    Health Office Friday, 19 November 2010 02:46 PM

    Excellant. Deport these hypocrits.
    Mohamed Hottait and his wife should concentrate on democarcy and human rignt in their country first.

    pissu balla Friday, 19 November 2010 02:55 PM

    Sl situation gets funnier day by day.

    amal Friday, 19 November 2010 02:57 PM

    back to king's era.No democratic movements..no protests..no demonstrations..nothing..people should stay deaf and blind..is this the heaven we want?????For sure if this country does not get rule of low and fair justice,this country will never develop.

    pbj Friday, 19 November 2010 03:11 PM

    And protesting Sri lankans can be arrested.

    Robin Friday, 19 November 2010 03:11 PM

    Which country are they from? And what do they want to protest about here?

    poor but rich Friday, 19 November 2010 03:13 PM

    amal, it'll never develop. but development for those with govt. Means for thugs.......

    Datha Friday, 19 November 2010 03:26 PM

    HE the King is asking for the same treatment that the french royal family received

    Gulf Kolla Friday, 19 November 2010 03:26 PM

    They acted with incredible swiftness (by Sri Lankan standards).

    Bandaraa. Friday, 19 November 2010 03:32 PM

    Get rid of these unwanted N.G.O.' personnel supporting bankrupt political parties in this nation.

    manmohan Friday, 19 November 2010 02:38 PM

    king can't stop these... he is getting so unpopular day by day...

    Anemagekata Friday, 19 November 2010 03:35 PM

    Lebanon.

    I have seen foreign tourists climb coconut trees, taste kasippu, milk cows, plough paddy fields, etc, for fun. May be this two were doing it for fun.

    Dave Richards Friday, 19 November 2010 03:36 PM

    Lucky Mohamed. He was just deported. Any other Mohamed with Sri Lankan nationality would have been jailed, hit by patriotic Kelaniya people or simply vanish like Prageeth Ekneligoda.

    Acord Friday, 19 November 2010 03:37 PM

    its not by immigration dept..this guy dont have that gut to do..behind da screen as usual

    TOUGH KID Friday, 19 November 2010 03:40 PM

    pandula Friday, 19 November 2010 03:42 PM

    But ALJAZEERA crew granted visa to film war crimes in Sri Lanka. What we can call such kind of things not against GOV or Just against SF.

    Ruhunu Puthra Friday, 19 November 2010 03:43 PM

    They chose the wrong time (midst of an anti Govt protest) to show their sympathy, which was rather naive on their part .

    looney Friday, 19 November 2010 03:58 PM

    in your own little world bro. not in sri lanka

    Ranjith Friday, 19 November 2010 04:04 PM

    Dear Man!. You have no respect to the country you were born. Think again before commenting. Good dat!.

    Yehiya-Doha Friday, 19 November 2010 04:16 PM
