All these incidents are normal things in Sri Lanka. So nothing to worry. nothing abnormal.

this is just after the request by Preident Mahinda Rajapakse, to the public " do their part " OK, ITS DONE. Now please do your part to find out who the culprits are.

This is not good for the image of the country,specially as things are looking better lately.The Police should take stern action quickly.

the public has done their part as you requested. now its time to do your part and catch the culprits.

This is bad. Yes, considering the fact that everything was looking so good for Sri Lanka after the war. Regardless of what a bunch of thugs think they can do, Voice of asia will always be the voice of truth and democracy. The voice that Sri Lanka needs.

This is insane and ridiculous that a bunch of thugs can get away with doing this. I only hope that all the affected radio stations get back on air live and and fight back.

One more nail on the coffin of media freedom in Sri Lanka.

-3+3#pusa2010-07-30 15:21

From where did you find that nail.
All nails are already on the coffin.
May Media Freedom attend Nibbana.

-2+4#Patriot2010-07-30 14:06

I am sure the Police will find them on their famous "Catch & Release' program, as what happened to MBC Networks....

-1+5#xlntgson2010-07-30 15:21

Sigh of relief, after all a petrol bomb and no one died!

-2+2#Gunawathie2010-07-30 18:10

Aiyo Siyatha, then you better change your logo to 'kotiya'.

This is not the first attack on media incident and it definitely wont be the last. True is the saying "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
