(July 29, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Readers in Sri Lanka are unable to access the ‘Sri Lanka Guardian’ website, since Monday( July 27). However, the site is accessible from other parts of the World. This has raised the question if it has been ‘blocked’ in the country, possibly by the authorities.
Last week, the Government announced its decision to ‘block’ all pornographic websites in the country, after President Mahinda Rajapaksa issued directions in this regard.
The ‘Sri Lanka Guardian’ is however a political website, carrying quality news and analyses by internationally-reputed writers on the ethnic issue and war.
By no stretch of imagination can the new direction of the President apply to the website, as extraordinary care is being taken on the choice of news reports, political and military analyses and photographs for use in the website.
It is hoped that better sense will prevail with those concerned, and the site will be allowed to be viewed in Sri Lanka as elsewhere across the world
