Although a complaint has been lodged at the Foreign Employment Bureau, Battaramulla, under complaint no: CN/158/1205, so far no action has been taken.While the youth is a Buddhist, the charge levelled against him is that he paid obeisance to the Buddha at the house where he was employed.The Bodu Bala Senaa organisation further said those employed in Muslim countries are prevented from practicing their religious faiths, and if found to do so are punished severely. Recently a Sri Lankan woman was arrested for gazing at a child at a shopping complex, where she was accused of witchcraft, on the grounds that she had a black cord around her wrist. APAGE SAHODARAYA WENUWEN HADAK NAGEEMATA KAALAYA ELABA ATHA, NATHAHOT MOHUTADA SIDUWANNA LE PIPASITHA ANTHAWADINGE ASIPATH LELADEEME KRIYAWALIYE THAWAT GODURAK VEEMATAYA</blockquote>
