Anti-porn drive launched in Sri Lanka1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA court in Sri Lanka has allowed police to publish photographs of local porn actors in the media in an effort to break up a porn ring.
The authorities hope the move will help them to restrict the ever-increasing flow of Internet porn.
Police said that catching the offenders would make it easier for them to arrest others involved in the making and distribution of pornography.
However, critics said the action of the police will not work because many of the women who act in porn films either do so unwittingly or under duress – and to reveal their identities would mean they are doubly victimised.
