Protests Against Secrecy Bill

A group of people dressed in black have protested against the controversial Protection of State Information Bill (POIB) outside the headquarters of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) in Johannesburg this morning.

The protestors lined the streets outside Luthuli House, quietly holding placards, which read “We have the right to know”, “Stop secrecy bill” and “Let the truth be told”.

In the same vein, the National Press Club chairperson, Yusuf Abramjee, says the day, dubbed ‘Black Tuesday’, mark the start of dark days for freedom of speech, freedom of expression and media freedom.
