Sri Lanka government 'settling scores' in media crackdown, The Independent (2010)

The newly elected government of President Rajapaksa has been accused of a post-election crackdown on the media as at least 6 websites were blocked, several journalists received death threates while others have been assaulted and at least one detained after having questioned the conduct of the elections. The government insists it is not attacking the media, only preventing the spread of rumours.
