She said all eight who  have been charged are teenagers or in their twenties.                       “We believe that all those  charged were within the embassy property and caused damage,” Ms.  Bakkavig has told the newspaper.                        One of the eight charged was an  asylum seeker, she has added.                         The prosecutor has said seven are charged with  serious vandalism of another state’s property whilst one has been  indicted for violation of another state’s territory. The suspects face  sentences up to seven years in prison.                                               The  attack on the Sri Lanka embassy occurred on April 12 last year. Sundaytimes</blockquote>
