I am just a reader of newspapers. Not a big, commercial person with money or influence. I am just a reader who likes to be informed about what is going on beyond the classified section and ads.
On another thread about journalism, I mentioned that it must be a stressful job when one is proposing articles about human interests that do not fit the "mold" for the type of journalism practiced in this side of the world. I guess 'stressful' is an understatement.
I applaud you for not "cozing up to the government and big countries." I applaud you for "supporting the little people." I believe that NOT being informed about injustices being committed to the majority of the population living here is a crime within itself.
You were doing the right thing. You just paid a hefty price for your courage. You have planted a seed. You have provided a taste of what freedom of the speech/press is like in the western part of the world.
I believe that the work ethic you practiced was not in vain.
I, for one, applaud you.
