As providers of impartial and accurate information, we deplore the way that allegations against the NGOs have been treated as established facts. Allegations are just allegations until they are proved. > As promoters of the rule of law and justice, we believe that all sides have the right to due process and this should be followed in resolving the issues and that no one should rush to judgment until both sides of the story have been heard. If we truly believe in human rights we need first to get accurate information and allow both sides a chance to be heard – otherwise, we are no better than a lynch mob. > As a service to the public, Veritas is willing to put the statements of all parties on our website for everyone to read _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
