Nandana Weeraratne has worked as a reporter and feature writer for over 45 years for the newspapers 'Kamkaru Mawatha', 'Seenuwa', 'Gini Siluwa', 'Raavaya', 'Mawbima', 'Ratu Tharuva' and 'Satiaga Aruna' published in Sri Lanka. He was also a program producer at the BBC World Service (Sinhala) in London [1995 – 2001]. A pioneering investigative journalist in the country, he was the first Sinhalese reporter to provide war reports from the territory of Tamil Eelam for ‘Raavaya’.
His most famous media works are the investigative reports, programs and documentaries about the 'Kamal Addararachchi's rape' case, the 'Batalanda torture camp' in Sapugaskanda, the ‘massacred villages' and 'caste injustices'.
‘The Criminal History of Ranil Wickremesinghe 1977-1997’ is intended to link the past to the present. Even if it takes the form of a horror story and sends chills down the spine, this book should be read by every voter, researcher and lawyer in Sri Lanka. This investigative report confirms how the politicians who come into power through popular vote of the people as caretakers of government, the police officers who are paid by public funds to maintain law and order and the underworld criminals who act as blood sucking ticks of the people, come together under one roof to decide the fate of others. It is up to the people of Sri Lanka to decide if they want this to continue.

Mr. Nandana Weerarathne, why don't you write a book about the atrocities, committed by the JVP in 1975/76 and 1989/90 periods to remind especially those youngsters who were born after 1989/1990.
