Sri Lankan Booker Prize Winner, Shehan Karunad Tilaqah

Sri Lankan Booker Prize winner Shehan Karunad Tilaqah says talking about contemporary Sri Lanka politics is not the safest thing at the moment. Do you still feel that there is this kind of suppression of speech, freedom of expression against Sri Lanka today? You see, there is and there is, the answer is both yes and no. It matters in the way that how you say that, what kind of words you use it and from what kind of a network you are doing it. I was never threatened for my art as such. There were many people who thought that I am doing secular just work.
