Eight arrested with Prabhakaran posters



Jaffna Security Forces Commander Mahinda Hathurusinghe said today eight people were arrested at Kodikarmam in Jaffna on charges of having in their possession posters containing the picture of former LTTE leader Vellupillai Parabhakaran.

He alleged that they were campaigning for the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) at the elections to the Northern Provincial Council.

Major General Hathurusinghe said at the time of the arrest they had some 300 such posters and that several others too were known to be having these posters in their possession.

Police said this was the first time such posters have been found in the Northern Province since the war ended in 2009. (Supun Dias)
