Head of a Tamil radio station held in Colombo under anti-terror law
Statement by RSF
Reporters Without Borders today urged the Sri Lankan authorities to release the manager of a Tamil radio A. R. V. Loshan, who was arrested at his home in the capital Colombo on 15 November.
The senior radio presenter and current manager of FM Vettri was picked up by Terrorist Investigation Department (TID) agents.
The worldwide press freedom organisation said that TID allegations against him of having "links with terrorists" and "aiding terrorist activities" should be based on evidence and not on simple conjecture.
"The growing number of arrests by the authorities of Tamil journalists under the anti-terror law gives currency to the common rumor that many of them are Tamil Tiger agents, but also undermines the anti-terror law itself", the organisation added.
A colleague of the journalist told Reporters Without Borders that his mother had been allowed to visit him. He is in good health and hopes to be quickly released.
Police questioned another journalist on Vettri FM before arresting the director. The 32-year-old with more than 10 years radio experience has worked for five years for the station, which is owned by the ABC press group.
Reporters Without Borders pointed out that two other Tamil journalists - J. S. Tissainayagam and Vettivel Jasikaran - are already being held under the anti-terror law. The fiancée of the second of them, Valarmathi Jasikaran, has also been imprisoned in Colombo in very harsh conditions.

Who owns Vettri FM?
How come Thissanayagam and Jathesgaran are still in for years without proper charges?
why is the police not so nice in treating them?
Is any radio play going on as a part to positively contribute the Sri Lankan Government propaganda?

அவர் நான்கு நாட்களிலே இலகுவாக வெளியே வந்துவிட்டார். நன்றாக நடத்தினார்கள் என்றும் சொல்கிறார். தற்கொலைக்குண்டுதாரியின் தொலைபேசி இலக்கம் இருந்தது என்று குற்றம் சாட்டினார்கள். மலேசியாவிலே புலியுடன் தொடர்பு என்றெல்லாம் குற்றம் சாட்டினார்களே. சும்மாவா தடவிச் சத்தான சாப்பாடெல்லாம் போட்டு அனுப்பியிருப்பார்கள்? ஜதீஸ்கரனும் திசநாயகமும் இன்னமும் உள்ளே காரணமில்லாமல் மாதக்கணக்கிலேயுள்ளார்கள். எல்லாமே லோசனோடு ஒரு செட் அப்போ?
