Silent march to Constitutional Court, Johannesburg.

A SILENT MARCH will be held on Tuesday 19 October at 12h30 from outside Wits University, Jorissen St to Constitution Hill to protest against the attempts of government to push through parliament the archaic Protection of Information Bill. This march has been organised by the Right2Know campaign. The Bill in its current form poses a signifcant threat to whistleblowers, journalists and the right to know of all citizens, as highlighted by the campaign's civil society statement.

PLEASE BRING MASKING TAPE ALONG TO TAPE MOUTHS SHUT!
Bring musical instruments or whistles to use at END of march!
