COLOMBO (News1st): Ahimsa Wickrematunge, the daughter of slain journalist Lasantha Wickrematunge has told The Washington Post that Sri Lanka’s leaders have denied justice over her father’s assassination 12 years ago.
In an opinion piece published on the 2nd of March, Ahimsa Wickrematunge recalled the incidents related to her father’s killing and the investigations that ensued into the matter.
The daughter of the slain editor said it seems that killing a journalist is just another rite of passage for emerging autocrats, given the murders of journalists in the likes of Anna Politkovskaya and Jamal Khashoggi as well.
