Terrorism Investigation Department summon Mannar civil society leader over planned protest
Sep 29, 2017
The Terrorism Investigation Department has summoned a Mannar civil society leader for questioning in Colombo.
V. S. Sivakaran, who heads the Federation of Community Organisations in
Mannar was served the summons in relation to a letter he had sent to the
Sri Lankan president criticising the president’s plans to attend the
opening of an illegally constructed vihara in the environs of
Thiruketheeswaram Kovil.
In the letter Mr Sivakaran had warned that if the President chose to
ignore local concerns and attend the opening, Mannar locals would
protest his visit.
While the opening of the vihara is due to take place this Friday
(September 29), Mr Sivakaran has been instructed to appear before the
Terrorism Investigation Department in Colombo the following Monday
(October 3).
