Sri Lankan immigration officials say they have prevented the President's brother and former finance minister Basil Rajapaksa from flying out of the country, amid growing anger at the powerful political family over the country's debilitating economic crisis.

The Sri Lanka Immigration and Emigration Officers Association said its members declined to serve Basil Rajapaksa at the VIP departure lounge of the Colombo airport.

"We are concerned for our security. So until this issue is resolved, the immigration officials working at the VIP lounge decided to withdraw their services." Basil Rajapaksa could not be immediately reached for comment and a close aide declined to give details. The opposition parties are expected to form an "all-party government" if the President follows the lead of his brother, shown here in 2012, by resigning.

Corruption investigations need to take place & relevant people need to be in Sri Lanka to answer questions & to face consequences if found to be corrupt. Also, Sri Lanka needs to have any appropriated funds returned & may need to obtain foreign debt forgiveness.

Probably trying to run away with the $100 million Australians gave to Sri Lanka

Blood on their hands. Western elites were in the grip of an ideology that made them incapable of understanding the hard realities of energy production.

The Rajapaksa clan is now deemed a public enemy no. 1 in Sri Lanka.

Great, he should suck it up..
