National Key Points to be made public

Judge Roland Sutherland ordered the police to reveal the list.

 

This comes after the Right2Know Campaign and the SA History Archive wanted the points to be made public under the Promotion of Access to Information Act.  

 

Sutherland said it was unconstitutional not to reveal the list.

 

National key points are protected from being photographed or identified as such.  

 

They are understood to include military installations and services of factories which are considered strategic.

 

The police have also been ordered to pay the legal fees for the case brought forward by the Right2Know Campaign.

 

Campaign coordinator Murray Hunter says they are extremely happy about the outcome.

 

“We are happy the judge has ruled in our favour and shown that the list must be made public and secrecy is unjustified. It shows that the law of the land is calling for greater transparency,” he says. “We want more openness and not secrecy.”
