The Free Media Movement of Sri Lanka was established in 1991 to critique and respond to moves by the government of the time to introduce a Media Commission to Sri Lanka.. The organisation has since then been active in all areas relating to media freedom, defending the rights of journalists and media people, calling for reform of repressive legislation, agitating against censorship and intimidation of media personnel and standing for broad principles of democratic and human rights.
