Call to Review Disclosure Laws

The Freedom of Expression Institute (FXI) intends urgently asking the Law Reform Commission to review laws compelling journalists to disclose confidential sources.

In a press statement, FXI argues that, "The interests of the effective administration of justice and maintenance of law and order compete with the right to freedom of expression."

The FXI comments come after e.tv journalists were subpoenaed to reveal the sources of a broadcast showing self-confessed criminals threatening to rob and murder tourists during the Soccer World Cup.
