Both are stakeholders at the Lakbima newspaper.
The protesters attempted to march onto the streets yesterday but changed their decision from doing so after the intervention of senior editors.
It is reported that the protest was sparked off over the envisaged appointment of employees to the administrative department by its new CEO Sujeewa Godaliyadda.
Editor of the paper Anura Horatius has even threatened to quit his post if the administrative department of Lakbima poses any more problems.
