Morsi to be investigated over links with militant groups

Egypt's deposed President Morsi is to be investigated over his escape from prison in the lead-up to the uprising which forced predecessor Hosni Mubarak from power.

The inquiry, a move which follows allegations that militant groups including Hamas and Hezbollah had helped in the escape, signals Egypt's new rulers' intention to legally pursue Morsi.

If found guilty of colluding with foreign groups against the Egyptian state, Morsi faces the possibility of serving a long jail sentence.

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
