The Sri Lankan navy arrested a group of 10 Indian fishermen near Neduntheevu on Saturday, for allegedly illegally entering Sri Lankan territory.
The latest arrests come after Sri Lankan security forces detained four Indian fishermen earlier in the week.
The arrested fishermen, from Nagapattinam district in Tamil Nadu, were taken to the Sri Lankan navy base in Karainagar with their trawler and fishing gear after being stopped by a SLNS Prathapa and Fast Attack Craft on patrol in the region.
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
