In responding to a question from media at the press briefing, Ms. Montas said
the two UN workers are still detained in Colombo.
"Well, I know that the UN Country Team has hired a lawyer who has visited them.
And we can confirm that they are still detained in Colombo. And really, we have
our lawyer working on that with them," she said.
