PM orders customs to release 'Frontline' magazine
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has ordered customs to release a stock of the 30th anniversary issue of India's 'Frontline' magazine that was seized for alleged breach of national security, the Press Trust of India reported.
The magazine's anniversary edition dated February 6 had been held by the customs as it carried a 1987 interview of slain LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran, the report said.
The Prime Minister had issued the directive after determining that the contents of the magazine did not pose a threat to national security and advised customs officials to be in touch with the Ministry of Media in order to arrive at such decisions in future, the PTI report said.
