The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins the widow of Sri Lankan journalist Lasantha Wickrematunge in calling on Sri Lanka’s power-holders to take immediate action to conduct a full, fair and independent investigation into the murder of the senior newsman.
Sonali Samarasinghe Wickrematunge, also a journalist, has publicly released a letter she wrote to Sri Lanka’s President, Mahinda Rajapakse, on April 24 voicing her grave concerns at the Government’s failure to investigate the January 8 murder of her husband.
