LETTERS | Wednesday, 28 November 2007 Socialist censorship Kindly allow me to reply to the letter ‘Censoring Correspondents’ by Eddy Privitera (21 November, 2007). In this letter, the correspondent claimed that in a particular section of the local press, letters which had been sent for publication were left pending for weeks, if not for months, on end, with the vast majority of such letters remaining unpublished. Edward Torpiano Loss of lives in migration process Regarding your article ‘Man dies after ambulance delayed by Mater Dei migration’ penned by Julia Farrugia, if you do your investigations you can find that a man critically injured (actually in danger of death) last week (22 November) needed to wait more than 40 minutes for an ambulance (20 minutes more were needed to put him carefully in the ambulance).
A pool of blood could be clearly seen on the street before it got dark. The poor man must have lost a lot of blood and surely needed assistance that could only be given in the hospital. The ironic part of it was that the accident happened in front of Mater Dei. I have videos taken by a sophisticated mobile to witness this. I don’t know if it was pointed out to the responsible authorities whether some measures are going to be taken to facilitate the goings in and out of ambulances during rush hours. Would the Health Ministry be accountable for a loss life? These people are putting many peoples’ lives at risk to gather more votes by trying to get the hospital running in the shortest time possible. Maurice Saliba Msida My personal justice I refer to the article ‘Supergrass drug pusher put in juvenile detention ‘for his own safety’’ (7 November, 2007). Sally Ellul
