Assassinated Tamil journalist remembered in North-East
02 June 2019
Aiyathurai Nadesan was remembered by journalists and media workers at
commemorative events in the North-East on the fifteenth anniversary of
his assassination.
Nadesan, a senior journalist with the Virakesari for over 20 years, was shot dead in Batticaloa on May 31, 2004.
In the months leading up to his killing, Nadesan had been threatened and
harassed by military personnel. On June 7, 2001, he was summoned by the
army for an inquiry where he was warned to cease reporting on human
rights abuses.
Vigils were held in his memory in Batticaloa and Jaffna on Friday.
