The right to not remain silent

BEIRUT: Regrettable as it is, its not really surprising that censorship of media, media activists and bloggers increases during periods of political tension. Less expected, perhaps, is the increase in incidents of cultural censorship.

The alarming security situation in 2013 had a negative impact on media and cultural freedom in Lebanon, writes Firas Talhouk in the SKeyes Center for Media and Cultural Freedoms annual report on press and cultural freedom in the Levant.

Released last month, SKeyes report recorded official bans on three films, a play and a foreign publication in 2013; two additional acts of cultural censorship resulted from pressure from unofficial bodies.

These statistics may not seem particularly high officers from General Securitys Censorship Bureau say they annually review roughly 300 films and plays for approval but they display a marked increase from 2012, when several films were partially censored but no outright bans were issued.

We always feel that there is some kind of parallel between political tensions and censorship in the country, Skeyes executive director Ayman Mhanna tells The Daily Star. In periods where things are okay, the number of censorship decisions decreases. In periods of tension, even when the movies have nothing to do with politics, theres an increase. I cant say its causality but there is definitely a relationship between the two.

Lea Baroudi, co-founder and general coordinator of anti-censorship NGO March, whose online Virtual Museum of Censorship records incidents of cultural censorship since 1940, says she too has noticed the correlation. Incidents of cultural censorship, she notes, have been increasing since late 2010.

Theres growing sectarian tension in the country and in the region, she explains, so I think this is affecting [censorship] wrongly so, because art and culture are supposed to bring people together. Theyre tools for peace, but they are being censored more because of these tensions ... [censors] are much more careful these days, especially when it comes to politics or religion.

Officers at the Censorship Bureau deny any correlation between Lebanons political climate and increased censorship of cultural production. Censorship does not tend to increase or decrease during any political or security situation, said General Mounir Akiki, who has been in charge of the Censorship Bureau since 2011, because it depends only on the laws and codes that govern censorship.

The authority to make cuts to films, plays, music, art and books, and to ban them outright, Akiki explains, lies with the National Committee of Information, the Film Censorship Committee (which includes four ministerial representatives), the interior minister, the information minister and the attorney general.

General Security has the authority to recommend a course of action but, Akiki stressed, they dont write the laws. They simply enforce existing censorship legislation much of which dates from before or during the Civil War.

6.0.15 * Fixed bug that prevented switching to default TV-refreshrate 6.0.14 * Option to restore default refreshrate only for TV (live or recorded). 6.0.13 * Improved Audio Mixer Handling. Note: Handling of audio devices relies on remote-controling the audio addon of the system control panel (type "control.exe mmsys.cpl" in "run" to see for yourself). Starting mmsys.cpl, controling it and closing it steals focus for short time, which might lead to flickering. While the Current Device in Media Center might in some cases not be correctly reported, the setting of the audio device should be fine. * Fixed bug in Stream detection using Direct Command Mode (Red Button or Ctrl+Alt+R) when no stream is present * Improved refreshrate tab in "Media Control Configuration" programm. Only 32bit modes are offered as default. Old registry settings are checked against current display driver and to be 32bit modes. 6.0.12.1 (only 32bit) * Fixed silly compiler mistake 6.0.12 * Fixed random crash of RemoteControlHook: it is now properly checking existence of Media Center Process 6.0.11 * restore to default refreshrate re-enabled (on Media Center start and on video stop event) * Vista not supported anymore * Input device detection fixed * Max allowable refreshrate increased to 300Hz 6.0.10 * Registry handling now done by "Media Control Configuration" (not installer)-->each user can use it without Admin rights * Fixed Contextmenue: no more crashes in latest Win7 and Win8 CP * Fixed Contextmenue: each command is now actually handled and not ignored in 80% of the cases (was a threading problem) * Refreshrates are now reliably auto detected and changed accordingly (make sure your display supprts all the refreshrates that are preconfigured in Media Control Configuration, e.g. the 23hz for 23.976 FPS) * Refreshratelist is now stored language independant in Registry-->removes crashes in Media Control Configuration * a number of smaller reliability bugs
