Tissainayagam has flown to the United States and arrived  at Washington’s Dulles International Airport last morning, the  Committee to Protect Journalist said. Tissainayagam had been released on  bail in January and had lived in seclusion in Sri Lanka since.    According to CPJ representative Kamel Labidi, who was on hand to meet  Tissa in the US, “He was all smiles, and said to thank everyone who  helped him gain his freedom.”     “Tissainayagam’s arrival in the United States is very welcome news, and  we join in the joy that he and his wife Ronnate are feeling,” said Joel  Simon, CPJ’s executive director. “We hope his arrival in the U.S. is a  step by the government to address its harsh policies toward the  media—policies that have not changed since the end of Sri Lanka’s more  than 30 years of civil conflict.”     On May 3, World Press Freedom Day, the government announced that it  would grant Tissainayagam a presidential pardon. Tissainayagam had been  released on bail in January and had lived in seclusion in Sri Lanka  since. The Tamil editor was first jailed in March 2008 and eventually  indicted under the Prevention of Terrorism Act in August 2008.               dailymirroranother Sri Lankan journalist moves abroad <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" />freedom of the media means that all views are acceptedgood luck to Tissainayagam & his familyat least now he can live freely without being threatenedunder 'suba anagathayak' there is no media freedomeverybody must act like the state media <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /><img src="http://www.wan-press.org/pfreedom/images/upload/srilanka1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.wan-press.org/pfreedom/images/upload/srilanka2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
