Addressing a Media Forum meeting"HIV/AIDS and Advocacy" held at the Auditorium Of Sri Lanka Family Planning Association in Colombo -07 today  ,the former Police Media Spokesman has said the reason behind arresting innocent girls by suspecting them as prostitutes is none other than a lack of knowledge police officers are having regarding  prostitutes.

"Sometimes Police have arrested  persons who are carrying condoms with them .  Condom is a medical device and one can't categorized a person carrying a condom as  a prostitute .Condom is not a symbol to identify a prostitute as not only prostitutes but normal people too sometimes may have carry a condom with them "he has stressed.
