Government personnel have removed the word 'Justice' spelt out by flowers on Daphne Caruana Galizia's makeshift monument at the foot of the Great Siege Memorial.

Activists from the protest group Occupy Justice had formed the word using flowers taken from the government's infiorata at St George's Square after it ended on Sunday night.

"It seems that only government sanctioned infioratas are permitted in Malta," the group commented.

It observed that while the lettering was removed, the borders were left untouched.

"Why would anyone not want justice for Daphne Caruana Galizia? Worse still, why are the authorities so allergic to a call for justice?" the group asked.
