Rohan Jayasekera Biography

Rohan Jayasekera is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on May 14, 1905 in Holloway, England, United Kingdom.

Jayasekera began his journalistic career as an apprentice reporter in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire in 1980, worked for a variety of London and national newspapers during the 1980s and 1990s before going abroad, covering half a dozen conflicts thereafter including Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq. He is a former managing editor of the Institute for War & Peace Reporting and former deputy CEO of the UK quarterly magazine Index on Censorship, where he was responsible for the charity’s international programmes and fundraising. He is now a freelance digital publisher managing a series of new R&D, advocacy and journalism projects on freedom of expression rights issues in conflict zones and repressive states

Between 2001 and 2004, Jayasekera ran an associated blog for the UK quarterly magazine Index on Censorship at www.indexonline.org. In May 2001, he provoked outrage from critics of the Holocaust denier David Irving by agreeing to share a stage with him at the Oxford Union to oppose the proposition that “this house would restrict the free speech of extremists”. The previous year a High Court judge had found that Mr Irving was “an active Holocaust denier; that he is anti-Semitic and racist and that he associates with right-wing extremists who promote neo-Nazism”. Strong protest followed, including direct appeals to the then chair of the board, Michael Grade, and objections from some of Jayasekera’s colleagues.

At a time before Irving’s jailing in Austria, Jayasekera was criticised for breaking the so-called “no platform” rule. This policy – formally adopted by Britain’s National Union of Students and other groups – requires, first, that fascists should not be given public forum, and secondly that if they do gain a platform other political parties and organisations should refuse to share it with them. Jayasekera declined to comply. The debate was eventually cancelled on the advice of the police.
