Radio DRS spokesman Andreas Notter says the station's South Asia correspondent
Karin Wenger was told by the Sri Lanka government to leave the country by
Monday.
Notter said Friday the government gave no reason for the expulsion.
DRS is considering protesting the decision.
Officials at Sri Lanka's diplomatic missions in Geneva and Berlin couldn't be
reached for comment.
Sri Lanka has in the past expelled journalists, U.N. officials and aid workers
who have spoken publicly about the plight of civilians during the country's
civil war and political repression in the South Asian nation.
