The chairman of Karaichchi Divisional Council (Pradesiya Sabai) has been summoned by Sri Lanka's Terrorism Investigation Division (TID).
The chairman was previously detained for 13 months by the TID in 2013 with no reason given.
The chairman was initially required to attend for the inquiry today, however the date was postponed to September 1st due to his poor health.
Once again no reasons were given by the TID for the inquiry.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
