Charlotte May Lee, a British national detained in Sri Lanka, may have to wait months for a bail hearing, her lawyer told The Independent. Lee, reportedly arrested under unclear circumstances, remains in custody as legal proceedings move slowly. Her legal team said she is "coping" but concerned about the extended wait behind bars. British consular officials are said to be in touch with Sri Lankan authorities. Rights groups have raised concerns over delays in Sri Lanka’s judicial system. Lee's family continues to appeal for urgent diplomatic intervention to expedite her release and ensure fair legal treatment. (PC: Instagram)
