This summons is the latest in a series of attempts by the Sri Lankan government to intimidate Tamils in the North-East over their involvement in documenting the armed conflict, organising and participating in commemorative events or asserting their rights.
Current Sri Lankan president Anura Kumara Dissanayake came to power promising a new era but for Tamils in the North-East, surveillance, repression and intimidation continues.
