The most democratic way to do things, but democracy dies a long time ago.

What do you mean by'to go against the country'
The country belongs to each and everyone, but at present it seems to belong to thugs,corrupt politicians,judiciary,police,army,media,monks,underworld.
Re-establish rule of law/anti-bribery/
Maintain equality
Sri Lanka belongs to all the multiethnic groups/multi religious
And NOT solely to the chosen people

Press Freedom at its PEAK??????

Sapumal Bandara Friday, 20 July 2012 12:51 AM

The Army Commander should have complained to the Press Council instead of the CID.

The Uthayan Editor must seek legal redress through a FR Petition to the Supreme Court.

Naman Friday, 20 July 2012 08:42 AM

A SL Taliban talking!

Naman Friday, 20 July 2012 08:43 AM

What is the point?

tikka Friday, 20 July 2012 08:55 AM

I am an Uthayan reader. I know Uthayan provoke Tamil minds to go against the country. Going to CID doesn't mean that had done something wrong. Let the CID to handle it. Its a professional investigation body in the country. If LTTE asked to report, the editor will not return. Do not forget that era. So its not LTTE have told to report

Ralph Anthony Kernr Friday, 20 July 2012 09:11 AM

When facts are exposed. Those at the receiving end seek assistance from the CID, in a manner to frighten the outspoken, which will not last long.

brinthan Friday, 20 July 2012 05:05 PM

there was a end for LTTE;s cruelty and surely for the rulers too

The Govt is slowly digging a hole from which it will never get out of and will buried in it.
