North-South journalists demonstrate in Jaffna
Media organisations have demonstrated in front of the Jaffna main bus station on Thursday, against the increasing tendency of media suppression and bullying against journalists in Northern peninsula of the island. Five media organizations were engaged in this event including Movement for Free media, Jaffna Media Centre, Nimalarajan commemoration Society and South Asian Journalist's Association. They mainly opposed the arrest of journalists under fake accusations last week, while heading towards Colombo for a media workshop. The organisers appealed for public support on this agitation campaign.
