TORONTO, Dec 6 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Last week the Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ), a professional organization with more than 1,500 members across Canada, condemned the arrest of the three pro-life journalists who were covering the protest and arrest of Canadian pro-life hero Linda Gibbons on October 15.
“While we understand the journalists are pro-life supporters, that in no way gives police the right to infringe upon freedom of the press,” said Boni Fox, president of the Canadian Association of Journalists. “This is the kind of muzzling that limits the coverage of important events as they unfold and ultimately threatens public debate.” The CAJ demands the charges be dropped and that police issue apologies to the journalists immediately.
