Three principals from schools in Kilinochchi were called in for questioning by the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID) this weekend over a book allegedly distributed in schools, the Uthayan reports.
The three were released following a lengthy interrogation at the TID office by the Kanthasamy temple. Principals from other schools in the region have also been summoned for questioning by the TID.
The book, entitled 'Uyirpathivu', was published by a Catholic priest. According to the paper, the book is regarding ethnic cleansing in Mullivaikkaal during the end of the armed conflict.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
