Amnesty International is gravely concerned for the safety of Sivam Ashokumar who may be at risk from members of the People’s Liberation Organization of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE), an armed Tamil group fighting alongside the Sri Lankan security forces, attempting to force him to retract information about his detention and torture at Kovilkulam PLOTE camp earlier this year. This information was provided to Amnesty International via several reliable sources in Vavuniya.
