COLOMBO - International media rights activists on Friday described Sri Lanka as one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists due to a worsening climate of violence and censorship.


Killings and attacks against journalists remained unsolved leading to fears that media freedom is being deliberately and violently suppressed through threats, abductions and attacks, a team of media freedom campaigners said.

‘Since August 2005, eleven media workers have been killed in Sri Lanka. Ten of them were killed in government-controlled areas and no one has been caught so far,’ said Jacqui Park from the International Federation of Journalists.

Sri Lanka seeks hackers to down pro-Tiger website

ஸ்ரீலங்கா அரசு கருத்துச்சுதந்திரத்தினைத் தடை செய்வதை சர்வதேச செய்திநிறுவனம் அறியத் தருகிறது. ஸ்ரீலங்கா அரசுக்கு ஆதரவு தெரிவித்து எழுதும் இந்து துக்ளக் பத்திரிகைகள் இதைப் பற்றி என்ன எழுதப்போகிறன?

Sri Lanka seeks hackers to down pro-Tiger website

Wed Jun 20, 5:50 AM ET

COLOMBO (AFP) - Sri Lanka's government said it would like to hire hackers to dismantle a pro-Tamil Tiger website, as media groups said access to the site was already blocked.

Tamilnet.com has been blocked for several days on the "advice" of the government, local rights group the Free Media Movement (FMM) said. A Sri Lanka Telecom official confirmed the site was being filtered.

When asked about the decision, the government's spokesman insisted he was unaware of the measure -- but said authorities should expand their arsenal in the long-running ethnic conflict.

"I do not know, but I would love to hire some hackers," Keheliya Rambukwella said, while adding that he had no access to people who could do the job.

Ethnic Cleansing By Decree: The Evicted Tamils of Trincomalee

திருகோணமலை மாவட்டத்திலிருந்து விரட்டப்பட்ட தமிழ்மக்களைப் பற்றிய கட்டுரை

Ethnic Cleansing By Decree: The Evicted Tamils of Trincomalee


By Dharman Dharmaratnam

The Mahinda Rajapakse administration issued an Extraodinary Gazette notification today that Mutur East and Sampur are now declared a High Security Zone. It announced a Special Economic Zone in the area under the Board of Investment Law. This would have a land area of 675 square kilometers (260.5 square miles). The 51,450 Tamils who fled Mutur East and Sampur late last year would not be allowed to return. The Government has taken steps to appropriate all private land in the area in an attempt to change the ethnic character of the Trincomalee district. No international wire service nor the BBC covered this news at the time that I draft this opinion piece. The contrast with the earlier coverage of the eviction of Tamils from the Colombo district could not be more stark. The latest gazette notification has grave consequences for the future of the Tamil community in Sri Lanka.
