Former Finance Minister of Sri Lanka, Basil Rajapaksa, attempted to flee to Dubai in the early hours of Tuesday amid a wave of protests but was unsuccessful after the airport's immigration officials blocked him. At the Colombo international airport, Rajapaksa—the brother of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa—reportedly attempted to flee through the VIP terminal, but people at the airport recognized him and objected to his departure.
