Swiss National Radio says one of its journalists has been ordered to leave Sri Lanka within forty-eight hours. The journalist, Karin Wenger, said she had been sent a letter telling her media accreditation had been denied even though she already had accreditation valid for several more weeks. Ms Wenger said she feared she had been asked to leave because she had asked uncomfortable questions at a government media conference. There has been no reaction from the Sri Lankan government. Meanwhile, the editor of the Lanka newspaper, Chandana Sirimalwatte has been arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). |
