Din il-\u0121img\u0127a Raphael Vassallo kiteb artiklu ta\u0127t it-titlu li \u0121ej: \u201cIl-libert\u00e0 tal-kelma tfisser ukoll il-liberta’ li titkellem mill-warrani\u201d. <\/a>G\u0127al dak li kiteb, ma setax g\u0127a\u017cel titlu a\u0127jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan irid jipperswadina li g\u0127al-liberta’ tal-kelma f’Malta kollox ward u \u017cahar u li min jilmenta li mhux kollox ward u \u017cahar ikun qed jitkellem mill-warrani. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tg\u0127id mhux hekk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ser nelenka fil-qosor ir-ra\u0121unijiet g\u0127ala l-liberta’ tal-kelma m’g\u0127andha qatt titkejjel ma’ kemm ikunu lesti jkunu tolleranti l-awtoritajiet g\u0127al dak li jinkiteb favur il-gvern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jekk int tag\u0127\u017cel li, minflok tu\u017ca d-dritt tieg\u0127ek li titkellem mill-warrani, tu\u017ca mo\u0127\u0127ok u qalbek indipendentement mill-gvern tal-\u0121urnata u indipendentement mill-partiti politi\u010bi, je\u017cistu tlettax il-ra\u0121uni g\u0127ala l-liberta’ tal-kelma f’Malta tinsab imhedda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L-Ewwel<\/strong> Punt: il-li\u0121ijiet tal-libell f’Malta qed ji\u0121u w\u017cati mill-politi\u010bi b’mod tattiku biex isikktu lill-\u0121urnalisti. Hemm bosta e\u017cempji dwar dan, i\u017cda ejjew insemmi dawk li huma l-aktar ri\u010benti. Il-kaw\u017ca li kien g\u0127amel lil Daphne Cauana Galizia, Chris Cardona \u0127alliha taqa’ hekk kif fe\u0121\u0121et il-possibilita’ setg\u0127u jinstemg\u0127u provi li jistabilixxu li kien \u0127a \u0121urament falz; u dan biex ma nsemmux l-allegazzjoni li kellu x’jaqsam sesswalment ma’ prostituta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G\u0127alkemm m’jinix daqshekk im\u0127asseb bil-liberta’ tal-kelma ta’ kelliema tal-Oppo\u017cizzjoni b\u0127alma huma Simon Busuttil, Jason Azzopardi u Beppe Fenech Adami, l-fatt li dan l-a\u0127\u0127ar Konrad Mizzi \u010beda l-kaw\u017ci ta’ libell li kien beda’ kontrihom g\u0127ax be\u017ca’ li setg\u0127u jitressqu provi li jag\u0127tuhom ra\u0121un meta dawn kienu xlewh li hu bniedem korrott, hi indikazzjoni o\u0127ra dwar kemm ikunu lesti l-politi\u010bi li jibdew kaw\u017ci ta’ libell biex jippruvaw isikktu, veri kemm ikunu veri l-allegazzjonijiet li huma jg\u0127idu li mmalafamawhom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M’g\u0127andniex xi ng\u0127idu, fihom innifishom il-kaw\u017ci \u010beduti minn Konrad Mizzi se jispi\u010b\u010baw biex lill-\u0121urnalisti j\u0121ieg\u0127eluhom ma jag\u0127tux kredibilita’ lill-allegazzjonijiet li hu tant qal li kienu biss gideb immirati lejh. Irnexxielu jakkwista dan ir-ri\u017cultat anki fin-nuqqas ta’ sentenza minn na\u0127a tal-qorti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It-Tieni<\/strong> Punt: il-li\u0121ijiet tag\u0127na dwar id-diffamazzjoni, bl-emendi li saru b’kollox, kif ukoll l-kotra l-kbira tas-sentenzi dwar libell li nqatg\u0127u mill-qrati tag\u0127na ma jaqblu xejn mal-kultura Ewropea dwar il-liberta’ tal-kelma u x’aktarx li fil-bi\u010b\u010ba l-kbira tag\u0127hom ji\u0121u m\u0127assra mill-Qorti Ewropea tad-Drittijiet tal-Bniedem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u017cda kif dan l-a\u0127\u0127ar stqarr b’\u010bertu niket Giovanni Bonello, is-sentenzi tal-Qorti Ewropea tad-Drittijiet tal-Bniedem li j\u0127assru l-li\u0121ijiet u l-kultura tas-sentenzi tag\u0127na ma jwasslux g\u0127al tibdil f’dawk il-li\u0121ijiet u f’dik il-kultura tas-sentenzi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan ifisser li biex tkun tista’ tin\u0121ieb prova li l-livelli tag\u0127na dwar id-diffamazzjoni huma fil-fatt theddida g\u0127ad-dritt tag\u0127na g\u0127al-liberta’ tal-kelma, kull ka\u017c ikun irid ji\u0121i riferit lejn Strasbourg: pro\u010bess g\u0127ali mmens u li jie\u0127u \u0127afna \u017cmien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnu nnifsu, dan m’hu xejn \u0127lief bastun fir-rota tal-liberta’ tal-kelma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It-tielet, g\u0127alkemm il-li\u0121ijiet tag\u0127na m’humiex tajbin, il-li\u0121ijiet f’pajji\u017ci o\u0127ra huma ag\u0127ar u alleati tal-gvern g\u0127a\u017clu li jag\u0127mlu libelli barra ‘l pajji\u017c biex isikktu lill-\u0121urnalisti. Henley and Partners kienu heddew b’libelli fir-Renju Unit kemm lil The Shift News kif ukoll lil Daphne Caruana Galizia. Lili tas-Satabank heddewni b’libelli fir-Renju Unit u \u0121ieg\u0127luni nwarrab storja li mal-medda ta\u017c-\u017cmien \u0121ie pruvat li kienet vera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tal-Pilatus Bank kienu g\u0127amlu kaw\u017ca ta’ libell f’Arizona ta’ $40 miljun lil Daphne Caruana Galizia: kaw\u017ca li setg\u0127et irrovinatha finanzjarjament, kienu x’setg\u0127u kienu d-danni li setg\u0127u \u0121ew likwidati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaw\u017ci b\u0127al dawn – mag\u0127rufa b\u0127ala kaw\u017ci SLAPP – jistg\u0127u ji\u0121u evitati u l-\u0121urnalisti jistg\u0127u ji\u0121i m\u0127arsa permezz ta’ li\u0121ijiet li l-gvern irrifjuta anki li jikkunsidra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ir-Raba’ Punt: ir-riskju li jsiru dawn il-pro\u010beduri f’Malta u lil hinn minnha jnissel element ta’ bi\u017ca’ li jwassal biex il-\u0121urnalisti ma jibqg\u0127ux \u0127ielsa li jxandru dak li jkun jixtiequ jxandru. Bl-Ingli\u017c dan isejj\u0127ulu “chilling effect” li jin\u0127ass biss jekk – mhux b\u0127al kif jag\u0127mel Raphael Vassallo – wie\u0127ed i\u017comm ru\u0127u ‘l bog\u0127od mis-setta Tag\u0127na Lkoll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il-\u0126ames Punt<\/strong> \u0121urnalisti indipendenti li jirfsu fuq il-kallijiet tal-partiti politi\u010bi jsibu ma’ wi\u010b\u010bhom attakk fero\u010bi minn trolls koordinati u m\u0127allsa mill-partiti nnifishom. M’g\u0127andniex xi ng\u0127idu, \u0127add ma g\u0127adda minn dak li g\u0127addiet minnu Daphne Caruana Galizia f’dawk li huma tg\u0127ajjir, theddid kiefer u demonizzar. Madankollu, mal-medda ta\u017c-\u017cmien u\u0127ud minna qeg\u0127din iduqu xi ftit minn dak li kienet g\u0127addiet minnu hi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is-Sitt Punt: il-partiti jidher li jqisu lill-\u0121urnalisti li jikkritikawhom b\u0127ala mira le\u0121ittima, g\u0127alkemm g\u0127adni ma nafx x’jippretendu li jkunu qed jakkwistaw meta jin\u0127bew wara t-trolls. Ta\u0127t l-isku\u017ca ta’ \u0121urnali\u017cmu u a\u0127barijiet, il-mezzi tax-xandir tag\u0127hom ju\u017cawhom biex ji\u017colaw, jintimidaw u jiskreditaw lill-kriti\u010bi tag\u0127hom ming\u0127ajr ma jiddistingwu bejn bejn politi\u010bi avversarji u \u0121urnalisti indipendenti li xog\u0127olhom hu appuntu li jikkritikaw. Dawn ma j\u0127abblu rashom xejn meta jg\u0127aww\u0121u l-fatti u litteralmet ji\u0121ru warajhom fit-toroq bil-kamera li, minn g\u0127odda tal-\u0121urnali\u017cmu u tal-informazzjoni, isiru armi ta’ oppressjoni politika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is-Seba’ Punt: il-kameras b\u0127ala g\u0127odda ta’ oppressjoni politika jintu\u017caw mhux biss fuq il-\u0121urnalisti waqt il-qadi ta’ dmirijiethom i\u017cda wkoll fuq il-poplu. Dawk li jattendu l-protesti jew dawk li g\u0127al xi ra\u0121uni l-awtoritajiet ma jarahomx \u0127elwin, isiru mira le\u0121ittima tas-setg\u0127ana permezz tal-kameras f’idejn l-a\u0121enti tal-partit jew tal-istat. Ju\u017caw ritratti ta’ persuni mag\u0127rufa bil-g\u0127an li ji\u017cuffjettaw bihom jew biex jheddulhom \u0127ob\u017chom. Jew inkella ipattuhielhom fuq il-post tax-xog\u0127ol u j\u010ba\u0127\u0127duhom minn kuntratti pubbli\u010bi u minn drittijiet basi\u010bi amministrattivi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It-Tmin Punt:<\/strong> il-protesti ji\u0121u ma\u0127nuqa. Spi\u010b\u010ba \u017c-\u017cmien tal-g\u0127oti tax-xebg\u0127at f’xi \u010bella. Minflok qed jintu\u017caw ri\u017corsi pubbli\u010bi biex minnufih jitne\u0127\u0127ew sinjali ta’ protesta b\u0127alma huma banners, billboards, posters – sa\u0127ansitra anki xemg\u0127at u fjuri – li jwasslu messa\u0121\u0121 ta’ protesta. Bl-isku\u017ca tar-regolamenti tal-ippjanar, spazju fuq billboards li jintu\u017caw biex iwasslu messa\u0121\u0121 politiku, jitne\u0127\u0127ew minnufih: metodu ie\u0127or ta’ \u010bensura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Id-Disa’ Punt: \u0121urnalisti jing\u0127ataw a\u010b\u010bess g\u0127all-Ministru skond kemm dawn ikunu lesti li jibqg\u0127u lura milli jirfsulu l-kallijiet bil-mistoqsijiet tag\u0127hom. B’mod sistematiku Konrad Mizzi qed jorganizza konferenzi stampa li g\u0127alihom jistieden biss dawk li jippretenduha ta’ \u0121urnalisti u li huma mpjegati mal-gvern jew mal-partit. Minn dakinhar li ntervistah John Sweeney aktar minn sena ilu, Joseph Muscat baqa’ jirrifjuta talbiet g\u0127al intervisti minn \u0121urnalisti internazzjonali. Sistematikament qed jevita l-battibekki mal-\u0121urnalisti u, f’dawk li ma jkunx jista’ ja\u0127rab minnhom, iwie\u0121eb b’mod trivjali u puwerili b\u0127al meta, g\u0127all-akku\u017ca tal-Kummissarju tal-Li\u0121ijiet li huwa l-aktar prim ministru korrott fl-istorja, wie\u0121eb bil-famu\u017ca fra\u017ci \u201cfreedom of speech\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L-G\u0127axar Punt: <\/strong>f’Malta, b’differenza g\u0127all-bqija tad-dinja demokratika, il-\u0121urnalisti mhumiex organizzati b’mod professjonali f’g\u0127aqdiet. \u0126afna minnhom huma impjegati mal-partiti politi\u010bi u dan iservi biex l-interessi tal-partiti politi\u010bi u tal-gvern ing\u0127ataw prijorita’ fuq interessi o\u0127ra. L-Istitut tal-\u0120urnalisti Maltin huwa frott ta’ din is-sitwazzjoni li qieg\u0127da therri s-solidarjeta’ professjonali li ssa\u0127\u0127a\u0127 is-sinjifikat u l-influwenza tal-\u0121urnali\u017cmu indipendenti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il-\u0126dax<\/strong>– il Punt: bosta huma dawk li jriduha ta’ \u0121urnalisti li huma lesti li jidhru \u0127elwin mal-klassi politika g\u0127all-flus. Permezz tar-riklamar, il-gvern jonfoq direttament jew indirettamen permezz tal-konsulenzi jew kuntratti tax-xandir pubbliku u dan ji\u0121\u0121enera \u010berti dipendenzi u lealtajiet li j\u0121ieg\u0127luhom jag\u0127mlu l-kompromessi meta ji\u0121u biex jirrappurtaw dwar attivitajiet tla-gvern. Tg\u0127id il-fatt li Saviour Balzan huwa marbut b’kuntratt biex jag\u0127mel programm fuq TVM darba fil-\u0121img\u0127a b’xi mod jeffettwalu \u017c-\u017celu li g\u0127andu biex jattakka l-kriti\u010bi tal-gvern li jimpjegah? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It-Tnax<\/strong>-il Punt: il-whistle-blowers qed ji\u0121u ntimidati sistematikament bir-ri\u017cultat li g\u0127ejjun jew g\u0127ejjun potenzjali qed jin\u017cammu milli jg\u0127addu informazzjoni lill-\u0121urnalisti dwar dak kollu li jafu. Jonathan Ferris u Maria Efimova huwa e\u017cempji \u0127ajjin dwar dak li jista’ ji\u0121rilu kull min ja\u017c\u017carda jitkellem mal-\u0121urnalisti dwar in-nuqqasijiet tal-gvern: tke\u010b\u010bijiet illegali, e\u017cilju u xiljiet foloz. Saru wkoll kampanji biex jiskreditaw biex b’hekk ikun diffi\u010bli li wie\u0127ed isib impjieg, tixrid ta’ gideb u tfig\u0127 ta’ persuni f’istituzzjonijiet mentali. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u010b-“chilling effect ” imur aktar ‘il bog\u0127od minn hekk. Kull min g\u0127andu f’idejh informazzjoni aktar milli g\u0127andhom Maria Efimova jew Jonathan Ferris se jmur jg\u0127id li jaf aktar minnhom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It-Tlettax-<\/strong>il Punt: \u0121urnalista spi\u010b\u010bat biex inqatlet. Raphael Vassallo jg\u0127id li mhux sew li wie\u0127ed joqg\u0127od iwa\u0127\u0127al f’awtorita’ pubblika g\u0127all-assassinju ta’ Daphne Caruana Galizia. Wara kollox, ma kienx Joseph Muscat li qatilha. Issa jekk qed jg\u0127id li l-prim minstru m’g\u0127andux jin\u017camm kontabbli g\u0127aliex ma kienx hu li qatilha, huwa proprju hawn li Raphael Vassallo jkun qed jitkellem mill-warrani tieg\u0127u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L-Istat – u l-gvern li jmexxih – jinsab fid-dmir li j\u0127ares il-liberta’ tal-kelma kif ukoll \u0127ajjet il-\u0121urnalisti. Meta jonqos li jirrikonoxxi dan id-dmir – aktar u aktar fi\u017c-\u017cmien meta jkun se\u0127\u0127 assassinju ta’ \u0121urnalista – dan in-nuqqas jidher aktar lampanti mhux biss g\u0127aliex l-istat ikun naqas minn dmiru hekk kif se\u0127\u0127 l-assassinju i\u017cda wkoll g\u0127aliex qed jonqos minn dmiru kull jum li jg\u0127addi li fih jinqa’ ma jirrikonoxxix li dmiru hu li j\u0127ares \u0127ajjet in-nies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M’g\u0127andniex xi ng\u0127idu, il-gvern g\u0127amel ag\u0127ar minn hekk. Kien hu li xpruna l-attakk bil-mobilizzazzjoni tat-trolls, bit-tmaqdir, bit-tg\u0127ajjir, bil-gideb, bil-qerq u bl-iskreditar fil-konfront tal-\u0121urnalista fuq il-mezzi tax-xandir tal-partit. Il-gvern ra kif g\u0127amel biex jipprova jne\u017c\u017cag\u0127ha minn kull dinjita’ umana billi j\u010ba\u0127\u0127adha mhux biss mid-dritt g\u0127al-liberta’ tal-kelma i\u017cda sa\u0127ansitra mid-dritt g\u0127all-\u0127ajja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta l-gvern juri nuqqas ta’ \u0127e\u0121\u0121a biex jinstab tarf tal-assassinju, meta jniedi investigazzjonijiet ta’ nofs kedda, meta jo\u0127ro\u0121 b’gideb dwar arresti mminenti bil-g\u0127an li jaljena lill-\u0121urnalisti barranin, meta jirrifjuta g\u0127al g\u0127anijiet purament politi\u010bi li j\u0127ajjar lill-allegati assassini biex jikkoperaw mal-investigazzjoni u meta fil-kabinett tal-ministri jin\u017camm fil-kariga Ministru li nqabad jigdeb dwar ir-relazzjoni tieg\u0127u mal-allegati assassini kemm qabel kif ukoll wara li dawn wettqu l-qtil, id-dritt ta’ Daphne Caruana Galizia g\u0127all-\u0127ajja jkun qed jibqa’ ji\u0121i ma\u0127nuq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fl-a\u0127\u0127arnett, il-fatt li l-gvern qed ikompli jirrifjuta li jniedi nkjesta indipendenti dwar i\u010b-\u010birkostanzi tad-delitt li wassal g\u0127all-assassinju ta’ Daphne Caruana Galizia, dwar x’seta’ g\u0127amel il-gvern biex ji\u0121i evitat id-delitt, dwar il-kwalita’ tal-investigazzjonijiet li saru wara u dwar il-konklu\u017cjonijiet li jistg\u0127u jin\u0121ibdu mit-twettiq tad-delitt, m’huwiex biss \u010ba\u0127da ta’ drittijietha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ir-rifjut tal-gvern qed iservi ta’ twissija lill-\u0121urnalisti biex ma jaqbdux it-triq li kienet qabdet Daphne Caruana Galizia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dawn huwa tlettax il-ra\u0121uni li g\u0127andhom i\u0121ieg\u0127lu lil Raphael Vassallo ma jkomplix jag\u0127mel il-\u0127sara lill-professjoni tieg\u0127u stess. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
