Two officers went to Prasanna's home on Wednesday calling on him to record a statement at the SSP office on November 11. The officers failed to explain why the former EPC member was being summoned.
This is the latest in Sri Lanka's targetting of Tamil civil society and politicians, as the state continues their surveillance and intimidation.

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
