Civil groups to protest media restrictions – Business Day
Check out the Business Day report on the launch of our campaign:
“More than 180 civil organisations and individuals will today announce a major campaign and a week of protest against the Protection of Information Bill.
…
The groundswell against what is seen by many as the government’s efforts to curtail media freedom, has sparked heated debate and protest action such as today’s Right2Know Campaign supported by organisations and individuals such as author Nadine Gordimer and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
A statement objecting to what they call the secrecy bill is to be released at noon today in Cape Town, as well as plans for a week of action, starting on October 19.”
