Glowing candles formed the word ‘Justice’ on the beach of Font Għadir in Sliema just before the break of dawn on Thursday, to mark 10 months since the assassination of the journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

The action, was carried out by #occupyjustice, a group of activists led by women.

"We are here, lighting candles as the sun is rising as a symbol of hope. We want to tell the Prime Minister that no inconclusive inquiry will stop our quest for justice. We shall see to it that there will be a new dawn for Malta, a dawn where justice will prevail," they said in a statement.

They asked for justice as the Maltese people were still waiting for the police to start interrogating politicians flagged by journalists, who have been linked to corrupt practices.

“We have enough documented evidence to know that the Prime Minister's chief of staff Keith Schembri and his top minister Konrad Mizzi have set up a money laundering structure in order to receive illicit kickbacks. And we also have enough evidence to know that the Prime Minister is protecting them instead of firing them,” they said.
