		Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) believes the case of author Stephen Williams dramatically underscores the need for all Canadians to push for changes to laws and court practices to ensure that nobody in this country can be jailed because Crown prosecutors don’t like the contents of his or her book.
		CJFE calls on the Attorney General of Ontario to: cease immediately its criminal and civil prosecutions of Stephen Williams; take steps, if the prosecution continues, to eliminate any perception of conflict of interest by turning the Williams case over to outside prosecutors.
		CJFE feels enormous sympathy for the families but sincerely believes the increasing tendency toward court-ordered concealment of evidence in criminal cases may lead to society losing its sense of empathy with, and sympathy for, victims of crime.
