As a tribute to Lasantha Wickramatunga, the senior investigative journalist recently assassinated in Sri Lanka, we would like to share with you one of his last writings. Lasantha Wickramatunga was the founder and chief editor of the Sunday Leader, one of the few newspapers in Sri Lanka that have dared to report fearlessly on the deteriorating situation in the country. As a result of his courage he was assassinated on January 8, 2009. Due to threats and the general situation that journalists face in Sri Lanka, he knew that his death was an imminent possibility. In expectation of this, he wrote this letter, which serves as part of his legacy and also as a warning to others.
