Front Harsien ODZ activists handed out small pieces of coralline limestone in Valletta yesterday, in an effort to keep the issue of environmental destruction of Zonqor point in the public consciousness. The "souvenirs" were labeled with a message that read, "Better Zonqor than just a memory of it".

A report on Kenneth Gafa's sentencing dominates L-Orizzont's front page today. Gafa had shot Christine Sammut at point blank range while she sat in her car in December 2010, following a stalking campaign that started when Sammut broke up with him.
