Britain believes  that a free media is a vital part in every democratic country, Britain  has a robust mechanism for ensuring that media organisations, maintain  appropriate ethical and legal standards, but the government doesn’t  exercise control over media contents,” British High Commission spokesman  told Daily Mirror.He said British mechanism in regulating the media include an independent  regulator; the telecommunication (Ofcom), and an independent Press  Complaints Commission and regular libel laws.In the newest episode released by Channel-4, a witness, who had worked  under the then head of Sri Lanka Army’s 58th division, Brigadier  Shavendra Silva, during the end of the civil war, claimed that Brigadier  was ordered by Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, “to finish the job  by whatever means necessary.”Dailymirror</blockquote>
