My petition has been triggered by a Petition urging the media to give a publicity black out to the PEV (Post Election Violence) crime suspects. I think,the O'campo Six have a right for hearing.
I am not a lawyer,but Law of natural justice requires, non-condemnation before you are heard, What a better way than letting the world know what transpired,who was responsible, than the medium and agent of the people - The Press. Unless there are people who have issues to hide, the press has right to inform. Giving a black-out to such a global issue to me is non-sense activism, brawn politics and a cover up to truth.In the crimes these Group is accused of Murder, rape and violence, these are Capital offenses, punishable by the harshest/severest deterrent sentences in Any Penal Code Globally. But the standards and threshold is so high, to condemn a life,the onus is on the Prosecution and accusers' witnesses to Proof BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBTS (I wish I could under-line this).
We, the Social Site Fora, call on the World Press to ignore the petition - "I Support O'campo 6 Media Black Out".
This petition has been informed by the premise that each individual has inalienable Right of fair Trial and hearing. The cardinal duty of the press is to inform freely and for the global community to know the Truth.
