Sri Lanka to tackle online hate speech, says military

Sri Lanka’'s Defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse (R) in the eastern region of Thoppigala on April 18, 2013 Sri Lanka will clamp down on Internet hate speech following deadly anti-Muslim riots said to have been fuelled by social media sites, the military said Monday. Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse has asked the law and order ministry to deal with racial and religious hatred being spread using Facebook and Twitter, military spokesman Ruwan Wanigasooriya said. "There are some Facebook pages against Buddhism, but more pages against Islam," Wanigasooriya told AFP. He said Rajapakse, the powerful younger brother of President Mahinda Rajapakse, had asked law enforcement authorities to work out a "practical way" of dealing with online hate speech.
