Tamil Guardian journalist, Kanapathipillai Kumanan, has been summoned to the Mullaitivu office of the Assistant Superintendent of Police for an undisclosed investigation.
Speaking on this issue, Kumanan noted that in June, there were issues of a military land grab in Mullaitivu, which triggered a local council member to write to the Prime Minister’s office.
"The police responded to the inquiry by calling the council member to give a statement, and I have similarly been called in for this inquiry," he told the Tamil Guardian.
Tamil journalists continue to face routine harassment and violence at hands of Sri Lanka security forces.
