Exiled journalists asked to return Updated - 11/3/2010 - DailyMirror.
Sri Lanka’s Attorney General Mohan Peiris has said he was prepared to offer protection to any of the nation’s journalists who return to the country from exile, the US based media rights group, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said "Speaking for myself, and I’m fairly sure the government will back me up on this, there is no question that the government needs our journalists," Peiris has told a CPJ delegation. "They must come back and work with us and help set up the structures so that we can work together and we can respect each other. We must work with these institutions because we need them. We know if they stay outside and attack the government that is not useful." When asked if the government would ensure their safety, Peries said, "Of course, if they come back, there must be assurance on our part that they won’t come to any harm."
