I refer to the article ‘10 pending criminal libel cases, 7 against journalists’ (February 24).

The article incorrectly states that the Ramblers’ Association of Malta filed criminal libel proceedings against the editor of The Malta Independent on Sunday, David Lindsay, in December 2016.

The association wishes to clarify that the court case relates to a right of reply which we believe has been denied to us by the paper in question and has nothing to do with criminal libel.
