Sri Lanka’s police claims the Tamil documentary film makers arrested in Colombo for making a “defamatory film” were working for Channel 4.
According to The Island, the police said the film was shot in Tamil in South India and some sections involving soldiers had been dubbed in Sinhala.
Five of the suspects are reported to hail from the North-East, with three of them living there during the war, the police further stated.
A total of eight people were arrested on Saturday for making a documentary which contained scenes portraying the Sri Lanka Army as "immoral, inhumane and atrocious".
