The Terrorism Investigation Division (TID) have summoned Kanesalingam Santhiralingam, the spokesperson of Crusaders for Democracy, a political party of former LTTE cadre.
Santhiralingam, also known as K. Thulasi, has been ordered to attend the TID's Colombo second floor office on December 19 to give a statement regarding an investigation.
However, the summons, which was delivered to his wife at home by a Sri Lankan intelligence officer, does not provide details of the investigation.
The summons is the latest by the TID, which has over recent months increased its targetting of Tamil activists and journalists.
We need your support
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
