Anonymous group marks 500 days since death of Caruana Galizia

The anonymous activists group Rezistenza Malta have marked 500 days since the death of Daphne Caruana Galizia with a banner on the site where a car bomb killed the journalist in Bidnija.

Rezistenza also took to task Maltese journalists, claiming that “the majority… behave as though the search for truth with regards to this crime is the exclusivity of the police force”, calling on the press to verify whether the police were leaving no stone unturned.

A €1 million reward was issued by the government to anyone identifying the mastermind – so far three men have been arrested, accused of having executed the assassination.

“It is not only the case that not enough is being done to find the masterminds of Daphne’s assassination, but indeed now Malta’s institutions do not even care to convince us that this is being done,” the group said, insisting that the criminals behind the murder were powerful enough to silence others.

“Journalists have always been assassinated in revenge to the truth they uncovered or to stop them from discovering and exposing uncomfortable truths. If someone feels slandered, he would have a legal remedy to expose the deceit of the accuser. It is only in respect of truthful allegations that one does not have a legal remedy,” the anonymous group said.
