SAFMA Maldives strongly condemn and express concern about freedom of media in Sri Lanka, following the murder of Sunday Leader Editor Lasantha Wickrematunga, who was shot dead by two men on a motorcycle as he drove to work in Colombo.
On this sad occasion, the President of SAFMA Maldives, Ms. Aminath Najeeb and all the members of SAFMA Maldives extend our profound sympathy and sincere condolences to the members of the bereaved family of Mr. Wickrematunga.
We also call on Sri Lankan authorities to take all necessary steps to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice, and to take measures to grant protection for the safety of journalists working in Sri Lanka for the benefit of its people.
