Flyers targetting the husband of the TNA Northern Provincial Councillor Ananthy Sasitharan, have appeared across the Jaffna district this week, reports Uthayan.
Carrying a list of war crimes, the flyer alleged that Ms. Sasitharan's husband, Ezhilan was responsible.
The flyers appear amidst a series of recent threats and accusations made by the Sri Lankan government at Ms. Sasitharan, who played a prominent role in calling for an international investigation at the UN Human Rights Council last month.
Ezhilan was an LTTE cadre who went missing at the end of the armed conflict. Ms. Sasitharan reports seeing him last as he surrendered to the Sri Lankan military.
She has been campaigning against his disappearance since.
