An imprisoned Sri Lankan journalist, who faces a lengthy jail term for expressing his views, if convicted, has been nominated for a media freedom award by media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF).

RSF said in a statement that J S Tissainayagam is one of six journalists from different countries to be nominated for the award for "journalists who through their work, their principled stand or their attitude have displayed support for freedom of information."

Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi will present the prize to the winners on Thursday, December 04 in Paris.

Tissainayagam has been detained since March 2008 and is the first journalist to be charged for his writing under Sri Lanka's Prevention of Terrorism Act, a law described as draconian by human rights groups.

The charges against him include promoting violence and bringing the government into disrepute in his writing between June 2006 and June 2007 in the North Eastern Monthly magazine.

Lawyers said that Tissainayagam is liable to be imprisoned for at least five years if convicted under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.

The maximum jail term under the PTA for the offence he has been charged with is 20 years.

He has also been charged under Emergency Regulations which makes him liable for a jail term of at least 10 years, and a maximum of 20 years, if convicted, lawyers said.

The media watchdog RSF said Tissainayagam is now "held in appalling conditions" in a Colombo prison.

He was arrested in March 2008 while working on the launch of a news website called Outreachlk with support from the German development agency GTZ, RSF said. He was also a columnist for The Sunday Times newspaper.

"He was charged with terrorism on the basis of articles he wrote in 2006 in which he referred to a military offensive in the Tamil region that was accompanied, he said, by a terrible humanitarian crisis for the civilian population," the RSF statement said.

"This is the first time that a journalist has been held on terrorism charges because of what he wrote."

RSF also said there had been attempts to intimidate Tissainayagam's wife.

RSF said European parliamentarians had to intercede in order to get the authorities to agree to let Tissainayagam have the glasses he needs to read.

Two others are being held in connection with the case.
