Myanmar abolishes censorship of private publications

BANGKOK The government of Myanmar said Monday it would no longer censor private publications, a move journalists described as a major step toward media freedom in a country where military governments have tried for decades to control the flow of information.

The announcement was made to editors Monday and posted on a government website.

All publications in Myanmar are exempt from the scrutiny of the Press Scrutiny and Registration Department, the government said in a terse statement.

Private publications in Myanmar have been thriving since President Thein Sein began taking steps last year to open up the country's economy and move the country toward democracy.

This is a very significant step a big change, U Ko Ko, owner of the Yangon Times, said by phone. It is in line with a democratic society. We have been working with censorship for almost five decades.

U Tint Swe, a top official in the Press Scrutiny and Registration Department, told journalists that government censorship had been in place for 48 years and 14 days, according to one participant in the meeting.

U Thiha Saw, vice president of the Myanmar Journalist Association and the editor of two private weekly publications, sees media freedom as a barometer for the reform process in the country.

He said he was optimistic that a series of changes, including a press law being drafted by the government, would allow Myanmar a level of press freedom unimaginable during the days of military rule.

We won't be as free as the Philippine press or the Thai press, Thiha Saw said. But we will be much more liberal than Cambodia, Vietnam or Singapore.

In preparing to draft the law, the government consulted with experts from UNESCO. The press law will be introduced in Parliament in the coming weeks.

Censorship board told to be prudent with The New Village film evaluaton

PORT DICKSON: The Film Censorship Board (LPF) should be prudent in evaluating the 'The New Village' film as it has the final say on its screening, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. He said LPF should be cautious in making whatever decision as the film was said to have concealed an intrinsic message in glorifying communist terrorists and putting them in better light than members of the security forces during insurgency.

Although the film depicted a love story, the characters featured and the message hidden should be evaluated carefully, he said. "I am not supporting any security forces in the film, but the British army is portrayed as being arrogant, but was the communist better than the security forces?" he said after launching the Royal Malaysian Police's Governance Structure and Organisational Design workshop here.

He said LPF should be prepared and responsible for public reaction towards the film if it were to approve its screening.

"But if the audience give a good rating to the film, then credit should be given to LPF," he said. - Bernama

Pakistan's internet censorship “has no impact” – DAWN.COM

LAHORE: In a small Internet cafe, Abdullah gets round the censors with one click and logs onto YouTube, officially banned for a year and at the heart of Pakistan's cyberwar for control of the web.

On September 17, 2012 Islamabad blocked access to the popular video-sharing website after it aired a trailer for a low-budget American film deemed offensive to Islam and the Prophet Mohammed.

Pakistan summoned the most senior diplomat of the United States present in the country to protest against Innocence of Muslims, demanding that the film be removed and severe action taken against its producers.

A year later, the film is barely mentioned but YouTube, whose parent company is US multinational Google Inc, is still banned in Pakistan, as it is in China and Iran.

Pakistan is no stranger to censorship. Foreign television programmes deemed offensive are blocked while scenes considered too daring are censored in films shown at cinemas.

But the YouTube ban is in name only.

Internet users like Abdullah Raheem, a university student in Pakistan's cultural capital Lahore, can easily access the site through a simple proxy or Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Most people who go to school or university know how to access YouTube, but not the rest of the population, says Abdullah.

Only 10 percent of Pakistan's estimated 180 million people have access to the Internet, one of the lowest rates in the world.

This ban has no impact, Abdullah declares, who still feels guilty about logging onto YouTube. As a Muslim, I'm ashamed... because 'Innocence of Muslims' defiled Islam.
