A Tamil youth has been arrested for photocopying the suicide note of R. Senthuran.
The 23-year-old man from Jaffna, Balendran Prakash, was arrested by Koppay police on Tuesday.
Rajeswaran Senthuran committed suicide last Thursday in protest at the ongoing detention of Tamil political prisoners.
His suicide note, a letter in which the 18-year-old called on the Sri Lankan President to release all Tamil political prisoners with immediate effect, was found in one of his exercise books.
The note was reportedly made public by those who found the book and photocopied the letter.
