A significant
sentence
The Ombudsman is the
institution, not the person. We
need this structure. It cannot
be that, for a person to seek out
their rights, they have to go to
court by force. Why shouldn't
there be a structure which
itself investigates breaches of
human rights?
Government exponents
use Labour MP Carmelo
Abela's case to buttress their
arguments in favour of higher
defamation penalties. They
are also using his case to
defend their proposal to stifle
the right of ordinary citizens to
request magisterial inquiries.
