Today, the Quewezance sisters face a hearing that will determine if a publication ban will go into effect and if court records will be sealed. In addition to Innocence Canada, news organizations like APTN and CBC will be challenging these orders.

Open courts and freedom of the press are critical to inform the public of important matters, and the overall effectiveness of the criminal justice system. Imposing restrictions that institute 'silence' prevents the public from properly scrutinizing the merits of the case. The public has a right to know!
