Very reminicent of South
Very reminicent of South Africa during the apartheid years of 70s and 80s, where both the local black population and the media were abused by the security forces with Government sanctioned abuse. Politicians mostly escaped prosecution, which was criminal in some cases.
I often ask, 'who polices the police?'
Respect to the brave Demotix journo's, I understand how hard their job is and my thoughts are with you all.
