Every person has the right to hold and express an opinion. Under law, no one can be held liable for defamation when they are speaking the truth or giving an honest account of facts within their knowledge.
Truth is not defamation. The purpose of defamation law is to prevent false or malicious statements — not to silence those who expose wrongdoing. When a person truthfully reports misconduct, abuse, corruption, or any breach of duty, they are acting lawfully and in the public interest.
At the same time, silence in the face of known wrongdoing may amount to concealment. Where a person is aware of harm or unlawful conduct and chooses not to report or disclose it, they risk becoming an accessory to that offence by omission.
Therefore, every citizen, employee, and official has both a right and a duty to speak the truth. Whistleblowing, providing honest testimony, or sharing factual information about public interest matters are protected acts under domestic and international law.
To speak the truth is to act lawfully.
To conceal it is to assist wrongdoing.
Transparency is the foundation of justice.
