OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE, PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC OF MADAGASCARPretoria

, 4th June 2009

The illegal regime, that seized power following a coup d'état, endedrule of law, public policy and judicial independence in Madagascar.The charges brought against me, and unfounded convictions, constitute proof that justice is not independent and that there is no rule of lawin Madagascar today.

The statement made by the so-called Minister of Justice of the HAT isinvalid as it is the product of an insurrectional, illegal government, and contrary to the Constitution of Madagascar. Only when rule of lawis restored will justice return to Madagascar.

The current illegal regime in Madagascar is a disgrace to the nation.Unfounded and unfair accusations and criticism directed against me,and against people who respect the law, have become a common practiceof deceit of the insurrectional regime.Unlawful arrests and arbitrary detentions that are politically-motivated have also become common practice.

Prime Minister ManandafyRakotonirina, parliamentarians, journalists, and other deputies havebeen the victims of these arbitrary measures. Violence andintimidation from this illegal regime are also inflicted upon theMalagasy people every day.

We cannot accept this illegality. I appeal to all Malagasycompatriots, who value freedom and legality, especially jurists. Letus unite together. We must bring an end to this injustice. We mustreverse this unconstitutional and illegal regime led by AndryRajoelina.

May God bless our beloved homeland!

His Excellency, Marc Ravalomanana President of the Republic of Madagascar
