| Photographs of the posters that Sri Lankan police claim were found pinned up in Jaffna. |
Sri Lanka’s Terrorist Investigation Division has arrested a woman in Jaffna over the alleged distribution of posters bearing images of LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.
The woman, who recently arrived from Germany, was arrested by Sri Lankan security forces in Maruthanarmada on Tuesday evening from a lodge where she was staying.
A Jaffna police official claimed footage from surveillance cameras in the area showed the woman pinning up poster bearing the Tamil Eelam national symbols and the LTTE chief in front of the Anchaneyar Temple in the town. The posters, printed in black and white, date back from 2012.
She is currently facing questioning by the Terrorist Investigation Division.
