It's Your Turn

Sunanda Deshapriya, seen here at a protest against the suppression of the media, is a fearless journalist and media activist who has personally sacrificed his time, money and energy to fight for the freedom of expression in Sri Lanka. In this lawless country where being a journalism is one of the most dangerous professions one can be in, Deshapriya has personally been responsible for saving the lives of many journalists.

All this while other journalists have been able to stay silent because Deshapriya fought YOUR fight for you. The media still has whatever space it has because of the work of Deshapriya. He fights for the public's right to know. He fought for your rights while you remained silent.

He did this even when he was not getting paid to fight against the suppression of the media. He challenged the government so that you would be able to know the truth. Now it's your turn to speak up for him. It's your turn to demand that Sunanda Deshapariya is treated fairly.
