Frontline Socialist Party (FSP) politburo member, Kumar Gunaratnam, has been released from the Anuradhapura Prison after the completion of his one year prison sentence.

  He was arrested on November 04, 2015 for violating immigration and emigration laws after arriving in the country on tourist visa.

  The former JVP politburo member had arrived in Sri Lanka from Australia on January 01, 2015, just days before the last Presidential Election. 

 Gunaratnam, who reportedly holds Australian citizenship, had arrived in the island on a 30-day tourist visa which expired on January 31, 2015. 

 Gunaratnam was sentenced to one year imprisonment and fined Rs 50,000 by the Kegalle Magistrate’s Court on March 31.
