The editor of a Sri Lankan weekly newspaper and his wife have been assaulted in Colombo in the latest of a series of attacks on journalists. Reporters on the Rivira weekly say four men on motorcycles blocked Upali Tennakoon’s car and attacked the couple with iron rods and other weapons.
The pair are in a stable condition. The attack comes two weeks after top editor Lasantha Wickramatunga was shot dead.
