Sri Lanka: People 'Putting Themselves at Risk'
Nov-13-2013
Our story of reporting in Sri Lanka is totally insignificant compared to that of the countless thousands who have been killed, tortured or disappeared...
(LONDON ) - In the media pack given to all arriving journalists at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) being held in Sri Lanka next week is a 222 page book called "Corrupted Journalism". It is an out and out attack on Channel 4 and our journalism. As we only received our visas this week (our accreditation process took 8-10 weeks as opposed to the 2-3 weeks it took everyone else) I do not have this weighty tome in my hands, so I can't react to everything it says.
Our journalism and the authenticity of the videos was similarly scrutinised by the United Nations. Employing two of the world's foremost video and audio experts, a thorough three month investigation and report by the UN found the videos to be authentic.
