People walk past a poster of Sri Lanka's President Mahinda Rajapaksa as they protest against the assaults on journalists during a demonstration in Colombo July 2, 2008. Sri Lankan media owners on Wednesday offered cash rewards to nab the assailants who attacked a defence journalist, while Sri Lankan media collectively protested against the latest series of violations against the journalist. A Sri Lankan employee of the British High Commission and the journalist were attacked earlier in the week by a group in their car in the capital Colombo. Both were wounded but hospital workers said they were not in danger. REUTERS/Anuruddha Lokuhapuarachchi (SRI LANKA)
