After a thorough assessment of the public reaction to the press briefing yesterday by the Honorable Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs on the update of the Nasir incident, the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs wishes to issue the following clarifications:
The purpose of the press briefing was to update the general public on the outcome of the investigation into the Nasir incident. The press briefing document is not admissible in court and was never intended for that purpose.
The document was designed to provide a synopsis and highlight the major themes of the investigation, rather than to present all the details.
The Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs has taken note of the views of the public on the citation of sections of the law during the briefing. The Ministry assures the public that the correct provisions of the law have been properly cited in the official case diary and are already before the court.
There should therefore be no misunderstanding or confusion regarding the goal of the press briefing, which was simply to keep the public informed.
The Ministry calls upon all citizens to remain vigilant and constructive in following this case as part of their civic duty, and to remain positive as the matter progresses.
