Journalist Chamuditha Samarawickrema’s house attacked by thugs

An unidentified group has attacked the house of journalist Chamuditha Samarawickrema on the morning. of 14th February 2022

Four persons who had arrived at the Cambridge Court housing complex in Piliyandala where he was staying in a white van had first forcibly opened the main entrance gate of the housing scheme.It is said that the security forces who were there later aimed a pistol at the employee’s head and threatened him and came to the journalist’s house.

The unidentified persons who had entered the housing complex had hurled stones at the house of Chamuditha had caused severe damage to his house.

Meanwhile, the Journalists’ Association of Sri Lanka has condemned the attack on journalist Chamuditha Samarawickrema.

The union says that if any group tries to silence journalists by carrying out thug attacks, the relevant  authorities should take immediate action against it as well as prevent such heinous media repression.

Police Media Spokesman SSP Nihal Thalduwa stated that three police teams have launched investigations into the incident, but to date the culprits were not found.

The brutal attack on journalist Chamuditha Samarawickrema’s  two storeyed dwelling was condemned by the Federation of media Employees Trade Union .

The Federation of Media Employees Trade Unions, in conjunction with the International Federation of Journalists, strongly condemns the barbaric, cowardly attack on the house of journalist Chamuditha Samarawickrema. The International Federation of Journalists is the most powerful media organization with a membership of over 600,000 journalists, comprising 167 media organizations in 146 countries.

Chamuditha Samarawickrema has been a prominent journalist in the Sri Lankan media for a long time and has been a vocal critic of the actions of politicians and anti-social elements. At the time of the attack, he was a journalist who was playing the vital role of a powerful journalist in the “Paththare” and “Salakuna” programs of the Hiru TV channel.

 There is no doubt that this cowardly attack was a barbaric act aimed at preventing his use of the media. Armed with security, it is safe to assume that there is a powerful political arm behind such an attack. It is no secret that the country has witnessed several decades of killings, disappearances, and assaults on journalists, all of which have yet to be formally investigated. It is no secret to the people that there were powerful political hands behind all these incidents. The attack on journalist Chamuditha Samarawickrema can be suspected of being a similar act.

We urge the government to expedite such investigations and crackdown on thugs. Except by such action, suspicion of the people about state or political interference for these types of incidents cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the Federation of Media Employees Trade Unions strongly urges the government and the authorities to conduct a thorough proper investigation into the attack and reveal to the country the real thugs behind the attack In the digital age, YouTubers have emerged as new celebrities, educators, and influencers.
