Fishermen observe one-day strike demanding release of peers arrested by Sri Lanka Navy

Demanding the release of nine fishermen along with their boat who are imprisoned in Sri Lankan prisons, Rameswaram fishermen engaged in a one-day token strike here on Saturday. A few days ago, nine fishermen who went fishing from Rameswaram in a mechanised boat were detained by the Sri Lankan Navy. The fishermen were arrested on charges of cross-border fishing and imprisoned in Sri Lanka.
