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."

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

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

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

Media Freedom ?

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.

MEDIA FREEDOM AT IT'S BEST. THIS WILL BE ANOTHER UNSOLVED CASE N SURELY THE IGP WILL SAY THERE WAS NO SUCH INCIDENT.

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