Media Freedom in Sri Lanka - A clarion call - 2007/03/08 22:34
“Investigate us, or stop the harassment and false allegations!” was the clarion call by Sunanda Deshapriya, Spokesperson of the Free Media Movement (FMM), to all those who were inciting hatred and violence against journalists in Sri Lanka.
The FMM along with four of the largest media trade unions and journalists organisations jointly expressed their concern at the erosion of media rights and freedom at a launch of the “Press Freedom and Freedom of Expression in Sri Lanka: Struggle for survival” report, which clearly highlights the challenges facing media freedom and the freedom of expression in Sri Lanka today.
