A set of posters marking LTTE leader Veluppillai Prabhakaran’s 61st birthday have been found in Kilinochchi on Thursday, reports Uthayan.
Publishing the posters on its front page, the Uthayan stated that the posters were discovered and seized by the Sri Lankan police on Thursday.
Last year, the Uthayan came under investigation by Sri Lankan intelligence after the Jaffna based daily published an article which included a photograph of a billboard in India, which featured Prabhakaran.
The posters come as Tamil students in Jaffna and Tamils across the world marked the LTTE leader’s birthday on Thursday.
We need your support
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
