Ranil Wickremesinghe, the former president of Sri Lanka, has been arrested, marking a significant moment in the country’s political history as he becomes the first ex-head of state to face legal action. The arrest stems from accusations of embezzlement and misuse of public funds, which has ignited a national conversation about corruption and accountability in government. This development comes at a critical time for Sri Lanka, which is already navigating economic challenges and public dissatisfaction with political leadership.
