Former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa appears in court

Former First Lady Shiranthi Rajapaksa appeared before court on Tuesday as part of legal proceedings being conducted against her. The court appearance comes amid a series of cases involving members of the Rajapaksa family following their departure from government.

Details regarding the specific charges or nature of the proceedings were not immediately available. Her appearance before the court represents a continuation of legal matters that have involved several members of the former first family since 2022.
