FMM: Sunanda resigns

Free Media Movement (FMM) Media Spokesman Sunanda Deshapriya has resigned from all the posts he held in the Movement with effect from January 13 citing security reasons.

Deshapriya in a letter to the Free Media Movement Secretary has said that he is unable to appear in public due to security concerns.

However, FMM sources yesterday said Deshapriya has resigned to evade investigations initiated by the FMM into his financial dealings.

FMM sources said he held the posts of Project Director, Media Spokesman and Co-ordinator on International Affairs in the Movement. It is also said that several international and local organisations funding the FMM have demanded his resignation.
