Criminal Investigative Bureau has recorded a statement from Dr. Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu executive director to the Center for Policy Alternatives over the death threats he faced few weeks back.
Dr. Saravanamuttu received an anonymous death threat written in English, posted to his residence. According to the contents of the letter, Dr. Saravanamuttu will (emphasis in original) be killed because Sri Lanka stands to be deprived of the European Union’s GSP Plus benefits in October.
CPA spokesman has said Dr. Saranamuttu visited CID this morning and gave a detailed report on the threat he received.
