Sri Lankan police stop release of Thamilini's book

The Sri Lankan police have refused permission for the launch of a posthumous  book by the LTTE political division's women's wing leader, Thamilini, reported Lanka News Web.

The book, which is said to be an autobiography written by Thamilini prior to her death, has since been spearheaded by her husband.

According to the news site, the police said permission to release the book would only be granted if the photographs of Thamilini wearing her LTTE uniform and that of the Eelam Tamil flag were removed from the cover page.

"When asked, an officer of Kilinochchi police said no decision has been taken yet whether to permit the book launch. Advice has been sought from the attorney general’s department, as there is a question of allowing permission to pictures that show LTTE uniforms and the flag," the website added
