Demonstrations against Channel 4



UK’s Channel Four had telecast a doctored video footage tarnishing Sri Lanka’s image and insulting the Security Forces. The demonstrators said Channel 4 should apologize to Sri Lanka. No one can be permitted to discredit Sri Lanka. Media personnel who participated in this demonstration pointed out that they cannot remain reticent on such pressure exerted by foreign TV stations.
This demonstration was organised by the Joint Free Media Organisation. The demonstrators took initiatives to hand over a petition to the British High Commission in Colombo. It was signed by a large group.
