Seven persons who were filming the high security area of the Victoria Reservoir in Theldeniya using drone camera were taken into the custody by the Army personnel attached to the security at the Reservoir.
Police said the seven people were taking photographs of the reservoir and the dam while operating a drone without a legal permission.
Although the security officers had instructed them not to take photos or videos of the surrounding area with drones, they had taken videos and photos ignoring the instructions.
Accordingly, the seven suspects were arrested and handed over to the Theldeniya Police along with a drone. A van in which they arrived at the Reservoir was also taken into custody.
It was revealed that the group came for a trip and had taken photos of the surrounding area while visiting the place.
The arrested suspects, aged 31 and 32, are residents of Weligama and Dehiwala areas.(Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

As long as they don't use Iranian kamikaze drones, like the Russians do in their barbaric war against Ukraine, it's not seditious.

All bullshit. What has Victoria Dam to do with anything on national security? Many first world countries can view it within1m using their satellite zoom lens. Typical Sinhalese idiocy.

Socrates, I am sorry to tell you but on the assembly in New York on 26th September the foreign minister of Iran reassured Ali Sabry that there wil be not limit to expension of relations with Sri Lanka. Your government really knows which " friends" to pick.

Why should anyone disobey ordes from security personnel when they were asked not to take photos and videos near Victoria dam area. Nobody is above the law. VICTORIA DAM COULD BE TARGETED BY TERRORIST GROUPS TO CAUSE HEAVY ECONOMIC DAMAGE TO THE THE COUNTRY.

Good. Learn to respect instructions and laws. There are rules for a reason whether one agrees or not. In the US you would need a permit to fly a drone and there are places that are absolutely forbidden to fly drones. If Sri Lanka wants to move ahead in the world they need to enforce the laws just as they have done in this case.
