A former LTTE cadre was arrested in Kilinochchi by the Terrorism Investigation Department (TID) last week.

Relatives found out the following day that he had been arrested by the TID and was being held in Vavuniya.

Mr Kulenthiran was working in an insurance company, having been through the Sri Lankan government's rehabilitation programme.

His is the second reported arrest of a former cadre by the TID in 2017.

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
