Another Social Media activist summoned to CID

Date:

Manorama Weerasinghe, a famous Social Media activist, has been issued a notice to appear before the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on February 17.

This is reportedly on the purpose of collecting a statement with regard to an investigation on Social Media.

Social Media activists have been summoned to the CID on various occasions in the recent past and their statements have been collected. Shehan Malaka, another Social Media activist whose statement was recently recorded by the CID, was arrested today (14).

This alleged attempt to intimidate Social Media activists by the Police is seriously being criticised on Social Media.
