M.I.A says Sri Lanka still unsafe to visit

The artist, Maya Arulpragasam or M.I.A said she was still not unwilling to visit Sri Lanka despite the change of government.

"They [the Sri Lankan government] keep saying: “It’s all great now, come see for yourself!” But I have a kid, I don’t want to take that chance," M.I.A said, speaking in an interview with the Evening Standard published on Friday.

"The way Sri Lanka operates, you’ll get killed and the government will say: “Ah she went swimming, she was eaten by a shark, what can you do?”, she added.
