Former Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who was arrested last week, has been granted bail by a court amid health concerns. Wickremesinghe attended the hearing from a hospital, where he was admitted after severe dehydration. He's accused of misusing state funds while in office to attend a special graduation lunch in UK for celebrations of his wife's honorary professorship.
