Three political prisoners detained at Anuradhapura prison have urged the government to charge or release them.
The men, who have been accused by the Sri Lankan authorities of links to the LTTE, have been on hunger strike since September 23.

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
