In November last year, Muralikrishnan Chinnadurai was watching a livestream of a Tamil-language event in the UK when he noticed something odd.
A woman introduced as Duwaraka, daughter of Velupillai Prabhakaran, the Tamil Tiger militant chief, was giving a speech.
The problem was that Duwaraka had died more than a decade earlier, in an airstrike in 2009 during the closing days of the Sri Lankan civil war. The then-23-year-old's body was never found.
And now, here she was - seemingly a middle-aged woman - exhorting Tamilians across the world to take forward the political struggle for their freedom.

I may have said this before, we are living in a propagandists wet dream!
Kind of wish I was still doing PsyOp but I was primarily involved with dissemination not production. I was involved in some production but mostly on the fly for "targets of opportunity" and even those scripts/leaflets had to be written up and approved prior to dissemination. So, many opportunities were missed for the sake of continuity of the campaign.
Would love to see the current production tools.
