🚨 Avinash Ramkistan asked for information on Monday. By Thursday, he was under arrest. 🚨
What would you do if you followed every lawful process available to you, reported alleged corruption, requested information through legal channels, and then found yourself arrested just three days later?
The emails speak for themselves. The Judge president was asked to verify simple information which they fail. There is no threats, no evading law, infact he was trying to ensure compliance to law by all officials concerned.
Yet, just days after continuing to pursue these complaints of serious corruption, (now claimed by Lt Gen Mkwanazi), he was arrested by some of the very people and institutions he had been approaching for assistance.
Was this a coincidence, or retaliation against a citizen exercising his constitutional rights?
South Africans should ask themselves:
🔹 Should reporting alleged corruption lead to arrest?
🔹 Should requesting public information result in prosecution?
🔹 Should whistleblowers and complainants be silenced instead of heard?
Whether people agree or not is irrelevant. The principle matters. The case witnesses admitted retaliatiion. Avinash Ramkistan's intentions was not unlawful or criminal, it was very clear, a lawful process protected by law.
If citizens can be punished simply for asking questions, then every South African should be concerned.
The documents are public. The timeline is documented. The questions remain unanswered.
