An online petition has been launched backing the NUJ's campaign in support of Suzanne Breen, Northern Ireland editor of the Sunday Tribune, who is resisting court action to force her to hand over her mobile phone, records, notes and other material arising from her reporting claims by the Real IRA.
It calls on the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to ensure that the Police Service of Northern Ireland respects press freedom and the fundamental journalistic right to protect sources.
The online petition which is here will be combined with hard copies currently circulating newsrooms to be handed in to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
