The United States strongly condemns violence against members of the press and is deeply concerned about the recent assault on Gnanasunduram Kuganathan, news editor of Uthayan Tamil daily in Jaffna, a statement released by the embassy.

“Violence against journalists silences voices, threatens freedom of expression, impairs reconciliation, and undermines democracy. We note media reports that the IGP has passed his initial report on the attack to President Rajapaksa, and urge that a thorough investigation be conducted and that the perpetrators be brought to justice,” it added.
