The Sri Lanka government is to investigate the recent death of a Buddhist monk after a protest. Specifically, they intend to learn more of the role of the media in his death following his self-immolation outside of a holy shrine. Officials have argued that journalists filming the scene should have ceased their reports in efforts to save the life of the monk. He has since become a martyr amongst his sect of Buddhists for his protest against the Muslim method of slaughtering cattle in the region.
