A part of this is the attack incident occurred against the “Udayan” Editor who visited Jaffna university compound to collect information directly about the students protest was attacked.
Those who are the protectors of law and peoples security are engaged in these nasty attacks which should be considered as a systemically action.
We have given ample media freedom which are only stated verbally, but the activities internally are functioning to suppress the medias, and to crush the voices, which are currently intensifies in the country.
“Udayan” which a peoples voice in the north, function with media ethics is hatred by some sectors was the cause for the Jaffna campus incident.
Attacks against “Udayan” Editor and Administration Director’s attacks are strongly condemned by our Federation, and whatever sectors are connected with this incident, appropriate action should be taken which we appeal was stated.

On Removal of Judges
Chief Justice unveiled the bust of late H.L.de Silva – July 27,2011
Having regard to these far reaching powers it appears to be in congruous for Parliament determine a procedure under Article 107(3) by framing Standing Orders that give the power to Select Committee of the House to determine whether or not a judge of the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeal has been guilty of misbehavior or incapacitated, as ground for removal from office. The determination of guilt when a judge is charged with misconduct is clearly an exercise of judicial power by Parliament directly, which is inconsistent with Article 4(c), since it does not fall within the exception therein mentioned. I my submission, what is contemplated in Article 107(3) is prescribing procedure which enables the guilt of a judge to be determined by a body competent to exercise judicial power directly, namely a court, tribunal or other institution established for the purpose. It is only after a judicial finding by such a body that Parliament is empowered under Article 107 to vote on the question of his removal. The existing procedural anomaly needs to be remedied.
