Sri Lankan born Tamil poet and Norwegian citizen Shanmugampillai\u00a0Jayapalan<\/span><\/a> who was arrested by the Terrorist Investigative Division on\u00a0Friday, will be deported by Sri Lankan immigration, the Government\u00a0Information Department says.<\/p>\n

\"Jayapalan\"<\/a>

Jayapalan<\/p><\/div>\n

Jayapalan was arrested in the Northern Province three days ago, while\u00a0on a visit to his mother\u2019s gravesite.\u00a0Sri Lankan Police claim he was arrested for propagating extremist\u00a0views and organising political seminars in violation of his tourist\u00a0visa.<\/p>\n

The authorities have accused the Tamil poet of inciting communal\u00a0tensions in the former conflict zone.\u00a0Activists are agitating for his release and their calls have been\u00a0echoed by former Norwegian Peace Envoy to Sri Lanka Eric Solheim<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0Jayapalan was visiting Jaffna for the first time in seven years. Since\u00a0he was unable to attend his mother\u2019s funeral in November 2006 while\u00a0the conflict was raging, Jayapalan is reported to have visited her\u00a0gravesite near his ancestral home in Mankulam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
