Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has appealed to the public for assistance in locating information about the next of kin of Ms. Rahima Sahabdeen, a Sri Lankan national currently detained in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The request follows a notice from the Consulate General of Sri Lanka in Jeddah, which highlighted the urgent need to establish her identity in order to facilitate repatriation.
Issuing a statement, the Sri Lankan Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that Ms. Rahima is suffering from memory loss and is unable to provide documentary proof of her identity.
As a result, the ministry has requested assistance in tracing her next of kin or acquaintances to move forward with the repatriation process.
Those with information have been requested to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs via the hotline +94 11 2275 530 or email: consular@mfa.gov.lk. (Newswire)
