Sri Lankan school empties amid Aids rumours...

A school in western Sri Lanka has been emptied of all but one pupil amid false rumours that the boy has Aids.

Parents removed their children from the Kurunegela school last week, despite the six-year-old having a certificate proving he does not have the disease.

His mother said many other schools had rejected him because her husband's death had been wrongly blamed on Aids.

School officials told the BBC's Sinhala service they would try to hold a session to educate parents.

Chandani De Soysa said she had been trying for some time to find a school place, but "they didn't take my child because of this Aids fear".

"I protested and nothing happened, even I found it difficult to get any work." Full story...
