Former LTTE cadre detained by white van in Kilinochchi

A 26 year old former LTTE cadre was detained and taken into a white van in Kilinochchi on Tuesday, locals reported.  

The detention has not been confirmed by the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID), who has been responsible for recent white van abductions and detentions of former LTTE cadres in the North-East. 

News of the latest detention has sparked fear within families of former LTTE cadres living in Kilinochchi, who continue to be visited by TID officers claiming to be carrying out 'routine investigations'.

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
