Sri Lanka's ex-president hospitalized: Wickremesinghe rushed to ICU; condition now 'stable'

Former Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe, recently jailed and charged with misusing government funds, was admitted to the ICU due to severe dehydration and pre-existing conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. His hospitalization followed his arrest as part of President Dissanayake's anti-corruption campaign. Opposition parties claim the charges are politically motivated, fearing Wickremesinghe's potential return to power.
