SRI Lanka deported three journalists from London-based Channel 4 television yesterday, a day after they were arrested for false reporting on the island's civil war.

Lakshman Hulugalle, the head of the government security information center, said the journalists admitted they had "done something wrong."

Nick Paton-Walsh, the channel's Asian correspondent, denied admitting wrongdoing. Paton-Walsh said the arrests were connected to his recent report on the conditions and alleged sexual abuse at refugee camps.
