(SKU: LS60007625) Award-winning journalist Paul Harris, known for his work with the London Daily Telegraph and Janes Intelligence Review, stayed at the historic Galle Face Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka—the oldest hotel east of Suez. During his stay, Harris faced harassment and political pressures, forcing him to leave the country prematurely. His experiences offer a unique perspective on the political landscape and conflict in Sri Lanka, highlighting the challenges journalists face in regions of high political tension. The Galle Face Hotel, with its colonial charm, became a symbol of both historical resilience and the vulnerability of journalistic pursuits. Harris's story underscores the importance of press freedom and the risks journalists take to provide unbiased reporting.
