The Freedom of Expression Institute has
called on the ANC to drop its court challenge seeking to ban the painting by
artist Brett Murray.
The institute says it recognises that the
painting has caused much hurt and has offended large numbers of people.
The Freedom of Expression said it cannot
support calls for the banning of artwork, nor threats to the artist and
gallery, nor any attempt to narrow the space artists have to do their work
freely and critically.
The pressure put on the City Press
newspaper by the ANC has also been slammed.
