Censorship
The Sri Lankan Government, faced with growing agitation over its decision to seek help from Israel to combat separatist guerrillas, has imposed press censorship on reports dealing with the rebels. A Government spokesman, Douglas Liyange, said censorship was aimed at preventing people reacting against demonstrators protesting against the invitation to Israel. He said censorship would cover matters relating to guerrilla violence, security operations against the rebels, training of security forces, and inciting people to violence.— Colombo. .
