For Immediate
Release
The movement 'Citizens in Defence of Rights and Freedoms - Project
Justice Goncalo Amaral' formally announces the creation of a defence
fund by means of a solidarity account to support citizen Goncalo Amaral,
who has been deprived of his civil right to free expression.
Freedom of expression is an inalienable constitutional right, for which
the Portuguese people have fought hard, and that cannot be placed at
stake, namely when it is exercised with responsibility and with
civility.
Citizen Goncalo Amaral presently finds himself in the front line of a
struggle for freedom of expression. An unequal struggle, in which the
parties have access to disparate financial resources - citizen Goncalo
Amaral is forced to exhaust all and any personal resources that he may
possess, and which are manifestly insufficient to meet the expenses that
are inherent to his defence.
His opponents, who are well aware of this limitation, and who are
financed by third parties to place considerable resources at their
disposal, risk little or nothing, and gamble everything to silence the
former Judiciary Police coordinator.
Goncalo Amaral desires nothing more than to see this matter duly
clarified in a court of law, which is the only place where the material
truth of facts can, and should, be established. And we, Portuguese
citizens, will do anything to see that happen.
Both parties must have equal access to Justice, and to adequate legal
representation. In this particular case, we see a need to create a legal
defence fund, in order to ensure that citizen Goncalo Amaral is given
access to said equality.
Therefore, the citizens who wish to show their solidarity with this
cause, may contribute with their support through a bank account at BPI -
Banco Portugues de Investimento, Sete Rios branch, in Lisbon, with
NIB: 0010 0000 438 0385 000 1 62; IBAN: PT 50 0010 0000 438 0385
000 1 62; Swift: BB PI PT PL.

For equal Justice for all, in respect of civil rights and duties of
Portuguese and European citizens.
For Truth and for Freedom.
