A Kuwaiti man and woman convicted of assaulting customs officers at Sri Lanka's main international airport were handed a six month jail sentence suspended for five years, an official said on Saturday.
The 32-year-old woman and her 29-year-old male partner, who were also fined LKR 138,000 ($860), were sentenced on Friday.
They were arrested after they turned violent when they were informed that quarantine requirements meant they could not bring their Burmese Mastiff into the country.
They assaulted five customs officers who tried to stop them fleeing the airport with the animal, police said, in an attack that was caught on CCTV.
