Sri Lanka attorney promises to protect journalists

12 Mar 2010

The Sri Lankan Attorney General has assured exiled journalists that they will not be prosecuted if they return to the country. Mohan Peiris said that he will offer protection to any of the nation’s reporters that left the country after the disputed presidential election earlier this year. “Speaking for myself, and I’m fairly sure the government will back me up on this, there is no question that the government needs our journalists,” he said.
