WSSD: Statement on Greenpeace Activists
MEDIA STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE JOINT OPERATIONAL AND
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE ON THE WSSD : SOUTH AFRICA
The South African security services in a joint exercise
has commenced with monitoring the movements and activities
of the Esperanza which departed Cape Town for Durban
this morning. The Esperanza will be shadowed for the
duration of its voyage until it reaches Durban.
The unlawful behaviour of the activists in recently
entering a restricted area within a national key point
leaves us with no other choice than to monitor their
activities in order to protect our strategic interests.
As a constitutional democracy we respect the rights
of individuals to demonstrate and express themselves
provided that it is done within the framework of existing
laws.
The South African security services will act firmly
and appropriately to protect the citizens of this country.
