Sri Lankan police arrested a Swiss Embassy employee on Monday who said she was abducted and was threatened to disclose embassy-related information. Police said they arrested Gania Banister Francis on suspicion that she made statements that caused disaffection toward the government and fabricated evidence in her abduction claim. The Swiss foreign ministry has called the Nov. 25 incident a “very serious and unacceptable attack” and summoned Sri Lanka’s ambassador to demand an investigation.
