THE Sri Lankan court imposed a fine of 3.5 crore LKR or six months of imprisonment on 10 Tharuvaikulam fishermen for allegedly trespassing and fishing illegally in Lankan waters on Wednesday.

Condemning the court order, fishermen from Tharuvaikulam staged a protest in front of the Puttalam court on Thursday.

The court also imposed a fine of LKR 6.5 crore or three months imprisonment on 35 fishermen from Pamban. The Lankan navy seized four country boats owned by Ranjan, Charles, Susai and Martin from Pamban and arrested the 35 fishermen on charges of violating the International Maritime Boundary Line.
