Yahapalanaya Blocks Tamil News Website For Exposing Jaffna Judge
October 30, 2016
Under the orders of the Media Ministry, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRC) has blocked a Tamil News Website after it exposed the misconduct of Jaffna Magistrate A.A. Anandarajah.
The website, http://www.newjaffna.net/ is operated from the United
Kingdom, and had published a series of articles revealing the misconduct
of Anandarajah.
The Media Ministry had issued the order to block the website after
several complaints were lodged against the website, for allegedly
carrying false information and trying to incite racial hatred, the TRC
had said. However, sources believe that the order to block the website
was issued subsequent to a complaint lodged by the Tamil National
Alliance against the website.
Both, the Ministry of Media and Ministry of Defence are carrying out
investigations, and following the completion of the investigation, a
decision will be taken whether to continue the ban on the website or to
lift it.
Even though this is the first website to be officially blocked under the Yahapalanaya government, anti-government websites such as Lanka C News and Lanka News Web Today have complained that their websites have been blocked from time to time.
