(Lanka-e-News-27.May.2012, 4.55PM) The number of viewers who access the face book that was opened on 19th October by Lanka e news as an answer to the website ban imposed on it , had exceeded one lakh ,that is , 107053 within this relatively short period of 7 months , which is a most gratifying statistic , particularly in this climate within SL against media freedom , deadly threats and intimidations confronted by us.Of this over a lakh viewers , about 74000 are from within SL thereby testifying to the fact that the desperate and deadly efforts of the present murderous Govt. and its sordid bootlicking media have turned out to be a damp squib . The fans of Lanka e news face book in general is about 12 lakhs . Besides the number of viewers of this traditional website which commenced on 4th October 2005, until today is a staggering 300 million 50 lakhs according to records !!.
Even after the cruel ban on the website the number of viewers had not declined . This clearly demonstrates that by the bans and the new barbaric rules and regulations of the uncouth Medamulana, the website cannot be hindered , hampered or obstructed from the ardent viewers.
Meanwhile the fundamental rights petition filed against the ban of five websites by the campaign for media freedom was tossed overboard most atrociously by the judges of the MaRa kangaroo court even without so much as citing a single reason to support its decision to do so.
