In the news bulletins of the Sri Lankan government and pro-government media it was reported that Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed accused Mr Sunanada Deshapriya of being a disgrace to the country in answering a question by Deshapriya after the screening of the Sri Lankan propaganda film in Geneva.
The Maldivian president was answering to a question by the former convener of the Free Media Movement after the screening of the Sri Lnakan propaganda film in Geneva, according to these media.
The Sri Lankan state run radio SLBC has quoted Mr. Nasheed as having told the Lankan journalist that it was a disgrace to work against one’s own country and they have been published some photographs as well.
But the Sri Lankan government false propaganda was well organised by State and pro-government medias, a Tamil human right activist told to the Eelam-e-News.
Herewith we are publishing couple of photographs, which were taken on 12th September 2011, during the 18th session of the UN Human Rights Council with the President and the Ambassador of Maldives.
It was brought to our notice that concerning this affair some censured photographs were published in Sri Lankan government and pro-government websites.
In fact, the Maldivian President went from the podium to talk to S. V. Kirubaharan of TCHR, which was well witnessed by everyone including the Sri Lankan delegation.
Mr. Kirubaharan is a well known human rights defender, the Maldvian President knows Kirubaharan well through one of his advisors, with whom Kirubaharan worked in solidarity, when then Maldivian opposition came to lobby in Geneva during then the UN Human Rights Commission in late 1990s, he added.Meanwhile, the International Federation of Journalists has written to Maldivian president Mohamed Nasheed, expressing concerns about comments attributed to him in a number of reports in Sri Lanka’s media.
“Of particular concern are the comments that obliquely refer to Sunanda Deshapriya, a former leader of IFJ affiliate the Free Media Movement, for having acted “against his country” in his advocacy work at the UN,” IFJ general secretary Beth Costa said in the letter.
