Sinhala Story On Frances Harrison’s BBC Documentary In Question, BBC Confirmes Removing Programmes Form Its Web

The BBC has removed it’s Sinhala Service programme on the investigative report by former BBC correspondent in Colombo Frances Harrison.  Writing to Colombo Telegraph the BBC said; “There was a serious editorial lapse in a programme on the BBC Sinhala Service on Friday 8 November.

 

Responding to Colombo Telegraph story BBC Sinhala Head Suspended: Non Sinhala Bosses Appointed, Liyanage’s Reports On Frances Harison’s Documentary Removed From BBC Web , the BBC World Service spokesman Paul Rasmussen said; “There was a serious editorial lapse in a programme on the BBC Sinhala Service on Friday 8 November.   We have removed the story from our website and are investigating how this happened to ensure nothing similar happens again.  While this investigation is underway, the Sinhala Service Editor will not be editing the output or managing the team.   A temporary editor will ensure the service will continue to broadcast.”

BBC didn’t deny our story. We wrote yesterday;

    Head of the BBC Sinhala Service, Priyath Liyanage, has been suspended, the Colombo Telegraph can exclusively reveal today.

    A non-Sinhala outsider has been specially appointed to look after all BBC Sinhala Service activities for the first time of its history and the Sinhala Service staff has been informed about Priyath Liyanage’s suspension in writing, the Colombo Telegraph learns.

    Unprecedentedly, the BBC Sinhala Service reporters have been asked to translate all their reports into English to be checked by higher authorities.

    The Colombo Telegraph sent an email to the BBC Press office [worldservice.press@bbc.co.uk] asking several questions related to the suspension of its head of Sinhala Service. Strangely, the message we received said: “Delivery has failed”.

    Early this year the BBC Sinhala head was sent to follow a BBC course on Journalistic ethics after he was caught giving letters of recommendation to Sri Lanka government to approve interest free loans  to his deputy Chandana Keerthi Bandara and to the  Colombo reporter Elmo Fernando.

    Colombo Telegraph reliably learns that the Sandesya programs related to Frances Harrison‘s recent BBC documentary on Sri Lanka have been removed from the BBC website after investigations.

சிங்கள ஊடகத்துறையின் லட்சணம் பல்லை இளிக்குது..

எதோ புதிசு மாதிரி B.B.C. யும்

 

ஐ.நா உள்ள்க விசாரணை செய்த அன்று ஏன் அந்த செய்திகள் B.B.C. வரவில்லை என்று தன் உள்ளக விசாணை கேள்வி கேட்டிருக வேண்டாம்?

 

உண்மையில் சேர்ந்து செய்தவர்களுள் அமெரிக்கா மடும்தான் பிழையை ஒத்துக்கொண்டது. பிளேக் ஒருவர் மட்டும்தான் காங்கிரசில் நாங்கள்ள் இலங்கையால் ஏமாற்றப்பட்டோம் என்று கூறியவர். ஐ.நா என்ற போக்கிலி கூட விசத்தும் விஜேநம்பியார் மீது ந்டவடிக்கை எடுக்கவில்லை.
