SUZANNE BREEN IS SAFE AND THE COURT HAS BACKED DOWN!! PRESS FREEDOM WON TODAY BECAUSE YOU REFUSED TO STAY SILENT. KEEP WATCHING THE NEWS BECAUSE WE WILL ALWAYS FIGHT TO PROTECT THE TRUTH!!
The Police Service of Northern Ireland is seeking a court order forcing Suzanne Breen, Northern Ireland Editor of the Sunday Tribune, to hand over her mobile phone, records, notes and other material arising from her working as a journalist reporting claims by the Real IRA.
Anti-Terrorism legislation is being used to allow the PSNI to justify the application in secret. Suzanne Breen, her newspaper, her union and the public may never know the basis for the order.
We back the NUJ campaign in support of Suzanne Breen and the Sunday Tribune and call on the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to ensure that the PSNI respects press freedom and the fundamental journalistic right to protect sources.
This online petition will be combined with hard copies currently circulating newsrooms to be handed in to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
Ridiculous that they are trying to force her to hand over notes. Let her do her job in peace!!!

Freedom of the press is supposed to mean something. Suzanne should not have to give up her source.

Keep your hands off the press. If reporters cant protect sources then they cant report the truth.
