Lake House, Sri Lanka’s oldest major press house, has hoisted up banners of Ranil Wickremesinghe, as the UNP leader was sworn in again as prime minister on Sunday.
The banners were displayed just days after UNP supporters attempted to storm the building on Thursday, leading to clashes that ended with the deployment of Sri Lanka’s Special Task Force.
The state-run Lake House, also known as the Associated Newspapers of Ceylon Limited, publishes 3 daily newspapers, 3 weekend newspapers, and 5 weekly newspapers.

We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
