FMM convener Virjana Herath said: “Mr. Maharoof, was a journalist working for television media for several decades and keeping him under custody is a threatening situation for his professional life. We believe that the situation and its consequences have imposed a serious threat on the safety and freedom of all journalists working in the country.” “We vehemently condemn this incident and demand justice for the injustice faced by Mohammad Rizvi Maharoof. We emphasise that the Government and the responsible authorities should be concerned in protecting fundamental rights, Freedom of Expression and Publishing and Media Freedom when taking necessary actions to protect national security,” said FMM. The IFJ said: “The arrest and subsequent detention of Mohammad Rizvi Maharoof on baseless charges is a serious threat to press freedom in Sri Lanka. The media environment in Sri Lanka has become increasingly hostile since the Easter Sunday attacks in April, with social media and communication platforms blocked. The arrest of Maharoof is further evidence of the hostile environment, and the Sri Lankan authorities need to work to guarantee the safety and security of the media.” Written By The IFJ represents more than 600,000 journalists in 140 countries.
