Sri Lankan government detains young Muslim poet on bogus charges
Ahnaf Jazeem, a 25-year-old Sri Lankan poet, remains in jail without charge after being falsely accused, by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) on May 16, of promoting Muslim extremism. He is being held under Sri Lanka’s draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA).
A scheduled December 8 court hearing was postponed until March 2021 on the pretext of concerns about COVID-19 infection. Ahnaf’s continuing incarceration is, in fact, part of the Rajapakse government’s ongoing anti-Muslim witchhunt and attacks on freedom of expression.
The PTA, which allows the authorities to detain anyone for months without charge, and to use confessions extracted under torture as evidence in the courts, was widely used during Sri Lanka’s 30-year communal war against the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam (LTTE).
