Standing Alone By My Principles

“Mercy for the tyrant is injustice to the weak”.

Never backing down.

Never backing down against injustice in the face of overwhelming fear is what our journalist Mr. Ahmed Jamal taught us today.

He showed us what backbone means. Needn’t he cared about his post, any dirty framing or about his own life. He’s sent all of us journalists a string of shame down our spines.

So today, I write this to ascertain to myself that I will not stay put no more, that I shall follow the footsteps of such individuals and that I too do not have a price tag. That I too am a force not to be reckoned with. That I too, no matter what the consequences, even if I am the last one to be exposing you, I will be stand with the right and not the powerful. Even if that means standing alone with my principles, standing alone with my principles.
