The Institute of Maltese Journalists issued a statement early this evening, on the subject of John Dalli’s attempt to use the police to threaten and intimidate The Malta Independent. It’s pretty lame – but the Institute did take the opportunity to remind us that it is in discussion with the government to scrap the law on criminal defamation/criminal libel.
But freedom of the press is obviously not in the government’s ‘liberality’ portfolio.
