The U.S. embassy issued a statement today condemning the attack on the studios of Siyatha Television and its affiliated radio stations and called for a credible inquiry to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The statement read “This attack, together with the unsolved disappearance of Prageeth Eknaligoda and other acts of violence against the press, serves to intimidate journalists and to further imperil media freedoms in Sri Lanka. We welcome the announcement of a police investigation since only a credible inquiry will bring the perpetrators to justice.”
