"Whoever feels offended, needs to learn to deal with it. As simple as that. If you feel that your reputation has been damaged, you have the right to file for defamation... but there is no need for the Court to first establish that 'unusual' comments are being made in a context of artistic expression, so as not to find blame. On the contrary, such cases should not even reach the Courts." Sammut in fact pointed out that it was the police who should not have displayed an obligation to Manché's com- plaint. "The police should have clear guidelines not to prosecute cases where there is no abuse. If the plaintiff feels short-changed, they will be able to defend their decision in court under challenge... other- wise, instead of protecting the right to freedom of expression as guaranteed by the European Convention, they are ending up as a tool in the hands of those who want to stifle that right." mvella@mediatoday.com.mt Manché fallout Mark Anthony Sammut is the only MP to suggest the outright removal of 'insult' from the Criminal Code and the Electronic Communications Act
