The Rajapaksa government and its predecessors must at least be held responsible for the impunity that surrounds attacks on journalists. Most of the killings came while Rajapaksa served as prime minister from April 2004, through the time he started his six-year term as president in November 2005, until now, No one has been brought to trial in any of these cases. The number of dead does not include journalists killed in crossfire or other events. The people were intentionally killed. With a failure to investigate and a realistic suspicion that government actors are complicit in the violence against journalists, the time has come for the international community to act.
