appreciating
While appreciating Sarath Fonseka's transformation as a champion of media freedom & rights I want to ask him four questions right now.
Keith Noyahr
Who was responsible for the abduction, torture& continuous "terror" campaign against ex-"Nation" deputy editor & defence columnist Keith Noyahr?
Namal Perera
Who was responsible for pulling out media activist & freelance scribe Namal Perera from vehicle on public road& assaulting him & companion?
Upali Tennekoon
Who was responsible for physical attack on former "Rivira" editor Upali Tennekoon on public road on his way to office in car with his wife?
Lalith Alahakoon
What made the Govt suddenly recall former "Nation" editor Lalith Alahakoon within 24 hours of his assuming a diplomatic posting in Pakistan?
now
I think Sarath Fonseka is in a position to provide answers to these questions now even without conducting an inquiry in the future. Will he?
