111 Martin MusunkaZMWe are sick and tired of hearing most African governments violating human rights and targetting journalists in their evil quest to harass and incarcerate these professionals for executing their work. This is the time we stood up to wage a fight against these issues that undermine press freedom and freedom of expression. As Southern Africa Journalists Association, we endorse the campaign and we shall support all areas that will help promote journalists in carrying out their duties.
112 VincentNNANNABJI endorse the above communique and solidly stand by the submissions thereon made.

129 YebioWoldemariamNYUSIt should not be regarded as excessive or luxury for people to demand the rule of law and freedom of expression. This are the fundamentals upon which human existance is built. It should dawn to many african governments that freeing humans from physical and mental bondage are the right way for development.
