Former members of the LTTE, who went through the government’s controversial rehabilitation programme, are still harassed and threatened by military intelligence, the TNA’s Selvam Adaikkalanathan said.
The MP, who is also deputy chairman of committees in Sri Lanka’s parliament, said the former members, who now live with their families feel unsafe and are regularly interrogated by the security services.
Mr Adaikkalanathan said he wrote to Sri Lanka’s president, Maithripala Sirisena, urging an immediate halt to the investigations.
The report released by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on Wednesday, details allegations of severe torture and sexual violence in the military-run rehabilitation centres.
