JVP accuses Sri Lanka police of harassing party members preparing to open its Vavuniya office

Sri Lanka' Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) today charged that the Thandikulam police and persons identifying themselves as army intelligence personnel have harassed party members making necessary arrangements to open its Vavuniya District political office.

The JVP Media Unit in a statement said the OIC of the Thandikulam police had gathered information about the JVP members who were decorating the office premises and making final preparations for the party secretary Tilvin Silva to open the office Sunday.
According to the JVP, party members have been harassed and threatened by these individuals late last night.
The owner of the building where the JVP office is located had been asked to report to the police to give a statement.
However, Silva opened the party's Vavuniya District office today.
