------------------------------



UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon marked World Press Freedom Day Sunday
by saying the number of attacks on journalists around the world remains
“shockingly high.” At least eleven media workers have been killed so far
this year, including the prominent Sri Lankan journalist Lasantha
Wickrematunge.
