Sri Lankan government has again barred BBC News from travelling to the north to attend public hearings of the government nominated commission looking into the country's civil war.
The defence ministry did not show any reason for preventing the BBC from covering the story in Jaffna.
This is the second time in two months the government has blocked BBC News from travelling north to cover the hearings of the war commission.
The panel is gathering information about the final years of the war with the stated aim of preventing another one.
At earlier hearings in the former war zone, witnesses have strongly criticised both the government and the Tamil Tigers.
Civilians have held responsible for the disappearance of their family members, or killing civilians when bombarding the war zone.
